When champion jockey Tommy Gilmour fails to turn up for the big race at Haydock Park, it seems like a golden opportunity for Eddie Malloy to ride the favourite. And to secure his comeback as a jump jockey.
Then Tommy is found with a bullet through his head. And Eddie is arrested as the prime suspect.
It is only when a second jockey is discovered dead, with a sinister note attached to his body, that Eddie is released—into the hunt for the killer. And he knows his own name is on the hitlist.
