Felix Francis
Theo Jennings is a young auctioneer at the Thoroughbred sales ring in Newmarket. The October yearling sales are where the big money exchanges hands in frenzied auctions – millions of Guineas paid for horses that are as yet unnamed, untested and have never taken a step on the track. It's the greatest gamble in all of horseracing, and one that can end in ruin.
Theo has just made the biggest sale of his life when he overhears a secret conversation between the two bidders – can they really have colluded to fix the price of his big sale? When that same horse is found dead the next morning, he has no choice but to investigate, even against the wishes of his boss. But the more he uncovers, the less he can trust the people around him.
The higher the stakes, the greater the risk. And in the bloodstock game, the ultimate price can be murder...

'Another solid, fun novel in this franchise. Fans of horse racing, and good old-fashion thrillers, will enjoy this one.' (Red Carpet Crash)
'This is certainly a crime novel written in the tradition of Dick Francis.' (Deadly Pleasures)
story maintains Felix Francis' well crafted stories. A good story line with suspense and pace.
Spoiler:
if I have one ongoing gripe it is the inaccuracy of the the medical event in the stories. In this one we have Theo experiencing a "dislocated ankle", requiring reduction, only to be told that there is no ligamentous injury. Having personally reduced a few ankles myself this is not possible, and the cast does not come off the same night. Recovery is 3-6 months and patients can complain of symptoms for a year or more.
Excellent narration that fitted the story so well.

The love story was also a bit ridiculous- to have gone on their first date to be buying a flat and talking about having children all within a fortnight is totally unbelievable. I also didn’t like the Soham murders being brought into it. I felt that the story would have worked perfectly well without that element.
