FAST-PACED HORSERACING THRILLER SET IN THE UK>When a young woman working in the pressroom at Ripon races jumps off the top of the grandstand at a Saturday afternoon race meeting, race commentator and part-time actor, Joe Lawlor, is drawn into his own race; to uncover a plot to defraud the UK's biggest betting exchange of millions of pounds. By promising to protect a friend, Joe becomes embroiled in the darker side of horseracing, where hackers, professional gamblers, the racing authorities, bookmakers, and hit-men, play out a deadly game of fraud and blackmail, driven by greed and revenge. PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS RACING THRILLERS BY RICHARD LAWS: - Great story with many twists & turns. Well written, pacey with a strong cast of characters.- The sort of book John Francombe & Dick Francis wished they had succeeded in writing. Such a very, very clever plot and engaging characters that one can identify with...- A good fast-paced story, the villains were totally impossible to guess from earlier in the book. I read a lot of crime thrillers including racing ones by the likes of Dick and Felix Francis, John Francome etc. This was as good as any of those.- An affirmed longstanding Dick Francis reader I am converting to Laws with each and every publication.
