Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The second novel from the father and son following the success of "Dead Heat", and the racing thriller continues on top form. Defence barrister Geoffrey Mason is also a keen amateur jockey - and finds his professional and sporting life colliding when champion jockey Steve Mitchell becomes chief suspect in the brutal murder of a fellow rider. An odds-on favourite in the selling stakes; (no further terrible racing puns, we promise...)

Publisher's description:

When defence barrister Geoffrey Mason hears the judge's verdict, he quietly hopes that a long custodial sentence will be handed down to Julian Trent, his arrogant young client, That Julian Trent only receives 8 years seems all too lenient. Little does Mason expect that he'll be looking Trent in the eyes again much sooner than he'd ever imagined.
