Past the Post

A jockey is dead.

But he's on the winner . . . or is he?

Just a pleasant day at the races for Miami Jones.

Miami and friends are enjoying a day out at the races when a jockey collapses. It looks innocent enough until he discovers this man had a past, and that past might just have caught up with him in the final straight. When his fiancée takes on the official investigation, Miami must walk a tight rope between discovering the truth his way and following the letter of the law.
