Why did this racing dynasty go up in flames?
Harrison Foster, crisis manager for a London firm, is summoned after a fire in the Chadwick Stables kills six horses, including the Derby favorite. Human remains are found in the burnt-out shell. With all the stable staff accounted for, who is the mystery victim?
Harry, who knows little about horses, he is thrust into the world of thoroughbred racing and of the Chadwick family, a dysfunctional racing dynasty. Resentment between the generations is rife and sibling rivalry bubbles away beneath a thin crust of respectability.
As Harry, representing the Middle Eastern owner of the Derby favorite, delves deeper, he ignites a fuse that sets off a firestorm in this horseracing thriller in the Dick Francis tradition.
