This is an incredibly satisfying read. Once again we are taken into a world of racing; shown the incredibly powerful emotions that rule those who desire a place of power and social standing. This series is tightly written, yet filled with details. I become completely absorbed. Be warned that the author does not shy from including the horror that men can inflict upon those by whom they feel threatened. Not in excess, however. It is there as punctuation to the truth of human nature. Having said all that, the main story is about a good man trying to help others, in spite of what he would rather be doing. That kind of attitude permeates each of the books in this series, and I am working on reading them all. I say again that fans of Dick Francis will not be disappointed, and at the same time, will find a fresh voice in this story, and in each story in this series.
