Publisher's Synopsis
When he wakes up in hospital with his stomach shot full of holes, private detective and former steeplechase jockey, Sid Halley has his first case for a longtime. Taken to convalesce at his father-in-law's house, Sid encounters overbearing entrepreneur, Howard Kraye, a man determined to take over Seabury Racecourse - at any price. As Sid delves deeper into Kraye's shady past of violence, fraud and brutality, he finds that a bullet in the gut may turn out to the least of his problems.
