    [synopsis] => From the New York Times–bestselling "master of crime fiction and equine thrills," a jockey turned investigator tackles crime in the horse racing world (Newsday).

  

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

  

 A hard fall took hotshot jockey Sid Halley out of the horse racing game, leaving him with a crippled hand, a broken heart, and the desperate need for a new job. Now he's landed a position with a detective agency, only to catch a bullet from some common thug. And things are about to get even more hectic. The agency is giving him a case to handle on his own.

  

 The case brings him to the door of Zanna Martin, a woman who might be just what Sid needs to get him back up and running. But he's up against a field of thoroughbred criminals, and the odds against him are making it a long shot that he'll even survive . . .
