This was very much like a Dick Francis book, except the hero of the piece isn't a fine upstanding young man with an un-quivering moral compass. And the villains of the piece took awhile to resolve because Nick is on track to become one of them.

I quite enjoyed it as about all else, Nick loved the horses and I wanted to love him for that alone.
