After collaborating on Dead Heat (2007), bestseller
Francis and his son, Felix, deliver another gripping thriller with
a thoroughbred racing backdrop. Soon after London barrister
Geoffrey Mason, an amateur jockey by avocation, starts receiving a
series of threatening messages from a former client, Julian Trent,
whose conviction for assault was overturned on appeal, Mason
reluctantly accepts the defense of a jockey, Steve Mitchell,
accused of the pitch-fork murder of fellow rider Scot Barlow at a
steeplechase event. Mitchell and Barlow had fallen out over
Barlow's sister, a vet and Mitchell's former girlfriend, who took
her own life just a short while before. When unknown parties order
Mason to lose the case, he must balance his professional ethics and
his sense of self-preservation. The solid writing and engaging lead
will carry readers along at a brisk pace, though some may find the
dramatic courtroom revelation of the murderer overly theatrical.
