'Charlie De Luca is fast becoming my favourite author.' 'Satisfying and fast paced.' 'Can't wait for the next Charlie De Luca book!'
When several red hot favourite horses fall in National Hunt races where there are also protests from an animal rights group, Run Free, eyebrows are raised. Surely this is just a coincidence? After all why would an animal rights group want to harm racehorses? Finn McCarthy and Harriet Lucas, jockey coach and dietician in the racing town of Walton, are once again called upon to investigate the integrity of racing when a death raises the stakes. Then they discover that the majority of the winners of these races, when the favourites fall, are horses from a rebranded racing syndicate, Horses for Courses, so a motive is established. Is the syndicate nobbling the favourites to increase their chances of winning, or is the protest group involved in trying to discredit National Hunt racing? The race is on to find the criminals before they strike again and with Cheltenham and Aintree fast approaching, a trap is laid to ensnare the culprits, but even the best laid plans can go awry...
