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

Cheltenham Races, New Year's Eve. Gerard Logan witnesses the death of his friend, jockey Martin Stukely, after a fall from his horse. In the aftermath, Gerard is left to pick up the pieces - including a mysterious unmarked videotape that Martin secretly left him.

But before Gerard gets to watch it, the videotape is stolen.

And soon further crimes start to occur. What was on the missing videotape? And why are the attacks continuing?

Gerard needs to keep one step ahead of his enemies and uncover the truth - before his livelihood and everything he loves is shattered for good.
