WHEN defence barrister Geoffrey Mason hears the judge’s guilty verdict, he quietly hopes that a long custodial sentence will be handed down to his arrogant young client.
That Julian Trent receives only eight years seems all too lenient.
Little does Mason expect he will be seeing Trent again much sooner than he’d ever imagined.
Setting aside his barrister’s wig, Mason heads to Sandown to don his racing silks, but a fellow rider is brutally murdered and the prime suspect is champion jockey Steve Mitchell.
A gripping murder mystery set against the glamorous world of horse racing, with a bit of violence and romance thrown in for good measure.
