description: For millionaire jockey Alan York, winning is a bonus. For Joe Nantwich, victory means no cushy backhanders; and for Bill Davidson, front running on strongly fancied Admiral, triumph is an imposter. It means murder - his own.Turning private detective, York uses Joe`s underworld connections to go on the trail of the killers - only to draw a series of blanks. But when ambushed by a gang of viscious thugs, he picks up some clues along with his cuts and bruises. Bill`s murder begins to make more sense. Until York finds himself in hospital, without a memory. `Fresh and exciting... very lively` Sunday Times `As a jockey, Dick Francis was unbeatable when he got into his stride. The same is true, nowadays, of his crime writing` Daily Mirror
