About This Book

Six years ago, investigator Sid Halley retired for good. For the sake of his wife and new daughter, he gave up that life of danger and he thought that nothing would ever lure him back. He thought wrong. Sir Richard Stewart, chairman of the racing authority, begs Sid to investigate a series of dodgy races. Sid refuses, but the following day, Sir Richard is found dead.
