There´s a bomb scare at Kingdom Hill racecourse, where failed conman Tricksy Wilcox watches his dreams blown to kingdom come...At Cheltenham´s glittering National Hunt Festival, protocol is rocked as a love-struck owner falls madly in love with her jockey ...There is passion - and revenge - at the glorious Kentucky Derby...and then ten other tantalizing stories to hold you enthralled from the starting gates to the finish. Award-winning Master of Crime, Dick Francis tackles a new distance with thirteen nerve-tingling tales of politics, passion, horses and crime - each one of them tied to a milestone event in the international racing calendar. The result is beyond question.
