Mystery solved by peeling away at the layers. Steeplechase jockeys are being removed from rides for various reasons. His horses that should do well, do not. The rumor starts that he has lost his nerve due to a previous injury so owners and trainers do not hire him. Not the best novel that I have read from this author but it was interesting enough to complete the book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Francis crafts a compelling psychological mystery. Finn is tenacious and determined. He’s also smart in the way he goes about ferreting out information to build the case against an unlikely perpetrator. I do not know much about steeplechase racing, but Francis gives enough detail to educate me without boring me. Some of the race scenes were quite thrilling; I almost felt as if I were jumping those fences right along with Finn and Template (the horse he was riding).
I came late to the Dick Francis fan club, but I’m glad I finally arrived. ( )
