About This Book
Roland Britten was an amateur jockey, and an accountant by profession, who woke up one morning and found he couldn't move his hands. And all he could hear was the noise of an engine, very close by. He finally decided he was lying in the dark, tied to a generator. But why? And where? And by whom? And what would happen next.
