More Description From a New York Times-bestselling "master of crime fiction and equine thrills," a betrayed race horse owner must get back his stolen thoroughbred(Newsday).
Dick Francis, Edgar Award-winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.
Steven Scott may have been a successful, wealthy inventor with no experience in horse racing, yet with the inspired guidance of his trainer, Jody Leeds, and the prowess of a beautiful black hurdler named Energise, he has brought home several wins.
But his winning streak is about to come to a fast end when he discovers trouble in his own stables: trouble that could bring about his own termination if he doesn't watch his step.
