The classic mystery tale from legendary crime writer Dick Francis, in a stunning new paperback package.

Tim Ekaterin has a lot of money. Unfortunately, it is other people's, and it's his job to invest it wisely, or get fired. And he's taken a big risk: using £5 million of the bank's money to fund a champion racing stallion stud.

When the resulting foals have birth defects, Tim decides that there may be something else going on at the stables. His suspicions are confirmed when one of those helping with the horses is murdered.

Determined to get to the bottom of why anyone would do this, Tim puts himself in danger to discover the truth.
