From a New York Times-bestselling "master of crime fiction and equine thrills," an aristocratic amateur jockey gets involved in a criminal investigation (Newsday).

Dick Francis, Edgar Award-winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.

The youngest child of rich, neglectful parents, Henry Grey was occasionally accused of being an overgrown brat. But all Henry wanted was a career that would bring him some genuine fulfilment, a little adventure, and a chance to prove his true character. So he decided to take a dirty demanding job transporting racehorses by air, much to his snobbish family's horror.

And when he discovered that he was actually transporting something altogether different, he had to call upon every ounce of resourcefulness he had to land with his life intact...
