Dick Francis, Edgar Award–winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.
 
Rob Finn is a talented young jockey on the rise, though nothing can help him rise above the feeling that he is a misfit in his family of accomplished musicians. Especially when Rob’s racing career takes a downturn and rumors begin to run rampant that he has lost his nerve.  But when he takes it upon himself to investigate the source of the stories, he discovers that his troubling losing streak is caused not by a lack of skill or confidence, but something far more sinister. . . .
