From the book cover: "A fall from a racehorse had left brilliant jockey Sid Halley dangerously depressed, with a wrecked hand and the need for a new career... He'd beed with a detective agency since his racing accident, but it wasn't until some two-bit hoodlum drilled a slug into his side that he was sent out on a case of his own." The first of Francis' novels to feature Sid Halley, this gives a good in-depth look at Sid's character, with a compassionate view to handicapped folks. Not Francis' best mystery, but still a good, fast-paced read.
