    Dick Francis, the bestselling master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.

    The last place veteran horseman Randall Drew wanted to go was Moscow. But when his royal highness the prince asks a favor, one doesn’t refuse.

    The Royal Family is worried about the prince’s brother-in-law, who aims to make the Olympics. Unfortunately, a jealous Russian rider has sworn to kill him if he sets

    But what he finds is more than jealousy. It’s a terrifying track of sabotage and murder. And now that he knows, the killer is after him …
