A slightly lighter hearted horse race mystery which gave Dick Francis (one of my favorite authors) a run for his money.
She may be at the top of her career, but champion jockey Victoria Pryde couldn't be worse off. Just at the moment she's meant to throw the lead in a high-stakes race, the die-hard horsewoman in her decides to damn the consequences and go for the win. So what if she ruins her blackmailing husband's plan to repay his gambling debts? But when he turns up dead, all evidence of foul play points to Victoria and her former lover. Now her pursuit of the truth is shaping up to be the riskiest course she's ever faced.
