‘A masterly plot'
The Daily Mail
Malcolm Pembroke never expected to make a
million pounds without making enemies. Nor
did he expect his latest wife to be brutally
murdered. AII the clues suggest the killer
comes from close to home-but after five
marriages and nine children, that still leaves
the field wide open.
When he finds his own life in danger,
Pembroke entrusts his safety to his estranged
son, Ian, an amateur jockey; and through him
discovers a compulsive new outlet for his
financial expertise.
Soon he's playing the international blood stock
market for incredible stakes. Not the safest bet
for a man on the run from avaricious relatives.
Particularly when one of them's got a bomb ...
'Dick Francis is on top form with this subtle
and satisfying entertainment that saves a
macabre surprise for the finish'
