Jockey Josh Swallow is about to retire and he's aiming to go out at the top. He's ridden over 1000 winners and landed all the big prizes in the sport - all except one. So he's determined that this season the title of champion jockey will finally be his. But it won't be easy. There's Ben O'Brien, the brilliant young Irish rider in his first full season who already has a lead on Josh in the championship race. And leading trainer Leo Lovall, once Josh's best friend and now his most bitter enemy. There's also someone else with a keen interest in Josh. She's his biggest fan, though he has no idea she exists. And hers is the kind of obsession that will never be satisfied - not even by murder...

Review:
Follows in the footsteps of Dick Francis...the story races along, with plot twist succeeding surprise revelation, and a final surprise on the penultimate page. The descriptions of the races, from the jockey's saddle, are realistic enough to excite a confirmed non-racegoer (The Scotsman)
Francome was a master of his first profession, and that really comes across in his vivid racing descriptions... The reader could almost be riding pillion as horses leap into the air, tire of exhaustion on the run-in, or find a sudden burst of speed and energy from nowhere just as the winning post arrives... Has more twists and turns than a giant-sized Fontwell (Racing Post)
'A good read, a straight-down-the-middle tale' (Tangled Web)
