Beautiful hardback copy! A globe hopping diplomat comes face to face with the worst corruption, in Dick Francis's suspenseful new mystery-his thirtieth thoroughbred thriller.
Fresh from a Tokyo posting young British First SECRETARY Peter Darwin decides to holiday in England before taking up his next assignment for the Foreign Office. DURING a MIAMI stopover, Peter is accidentally caught in a scuffle that leaves 2 acquaintances beaten and robbed. Peter stands by his new friends until they are safely delivered to their destination; Gloucestshire, England, his childhood homeland scene of long buried memories. There he walks unexpectedly into a veterinary surgeon's racehorse related nightmare. And as his involvement with the doctor's plight grows and more racehorses meet an untimely end, Peter realizes that events from his past are the keys to saving some decent people- and the things that they love-from destruction.
Does PETER HAVE THE SKILLS TO SOLVE THIS MYSTERIOUS enigma? And to stay alive himself?
