'Worthy rival to Francis...a thoroughly entertaining read' - THE RACEHORSE '...Notable scenes and dynamic pictorial skill' - SUNDAY TIMES 'A crisply written, high tension thriller. Loved it' - PAT EDDERY The film was the chance for screen idol Catherine Forrest to make a comeback, but it seemed to be jinxed: people were being killed, horses were having to be destroyed, and a series of accidents and bizarre coincidences was slowly terrifying the neurotic actress into madness.  Racing adviser Simon Drake's investigations develop into a Turf Security matter when it appears that the motives behind Catherine's demented behaviour involve fiddles at important races and big betting money.  Drake finds that in the artificial world of films it is difficult to distinguish fact from fantasy.

'Lip-biting, chair-gripping, racing fiction at its best.' - WILLIE CARSON It began with a note from a stable lad, a boy Simon Drake was destined never to meet - except on a mortuary slab, the victim of a hit-and-run 'accident'. After several years with Turf Security, Drake knew enough of the fraud and sharp practice in the racing world to want to keep out of it, and concentrate on the running of the Braxburn Stud. But the combination of a millionaire breeder-owner whose wife has a weakness for young men, and a crack jockey who's in danger of losing his licence, adds up to trouble, and Drake is right in the path of it...
