Book Overview

Jefferson Hinkley is back in the newest thriller in the Dick Francis tradition, this time on a special mission to the United States to investigate a conspiracy involving the biggest horse races in the country.

Jeff Hinkley, investigator for the British Horseracing Authority, has been seconded to the US Federal Anti-Corruption in Sports Agency (FACSA) where he has been asked to find a mole in their organization--an informant who is passing on confidential information to those under suspicion in American racing. At the Kentucky Derby, Jeff joins the FACSA team in a raid on a horse trainer's barn at Churchill Downs, but the bust is a disaster, and someone ends up dead. Then, on the morning of the Derby itself, three of the most favored horses in the field fall sick.

These suspicious events can be no coincidence. In search of answers, Jeff goes undercover as a groom on the backstretch at Belmont Park racetrack in New York. But he discovers far more than he was bargaining for: corrupt individuals who will stop at nothing--including murder--to capture the most elusive prize in world sport, the Triple Crown.

About Felix Francis

A New York Times, London Sunday Times, and international bestseller, acclaimed author Felix Francis was born in Oxford, England, son of the famous mystery author Dick Francis and his wife, Mary Francis. Felix graduated from London University with a degree in physics and electronics. His initial career led him into education, where he was a successful teacher of Advanced Level Physics. Next, he joined the world of big business as a director and deputy of an international overseas expedition company. But he could not deny that his family's gift of writing had been passed along to him, and he started his third career--as an author--where he found his knowledge of physics and the wider world was a great advantage. His many other accomplishments include being an expert outdoorsman, marksman, and pilot. Felix Francis resides in England with his wife, Debbie, and their two dogs, who are the ones really in charge.
