A heart-stopping thriller for fans of Dick Francis and Lynton
Stacey, set in the cut-throat world of horse-racing where races are
won and lost at the same rate as hearts, reputations and lives …
After a terrible accident on Everest, in which he lost his arm and
nearly his life, former champion jockey Eddie Malloy is trying to
rebuild his shattered existence, intent on putting to rest the
notoriety which has plagued him since his sudden retreat from the
racing world. But his new corporate role is every bit as
controversial as his past. Employed by powerful conglomerate Makalu
to mastermind their takeover of British racing, Eddie starts to
attract enemies – and death threats – in important racing
circles. Frankie Houlihan is also a man trying to forget the ghosts
of his past. Having tragically lost his wife, for whom he gave up
his priesthood, Frankie is thankful that his job as racing security
advisor keeps his mind from the demons that haunt him, as well as
thoughts of his estranged family back in Ireland. But when he is
charged with ensuring Eddie Malloy's safety, danger also invites
itself into his life. As the bond between the two lonely men
strengthens, they must join forces in a race against time to
uncover the identity of the individual who is so intent on stopping
Malloy. And Frankie also finds himself under another threat every
bit as terrifying – of losing his heart to another woman
