Synopsis
Jockey Josh Swallow is about to retire and he's aiming to go out at the top. He's ridden over 1000 winners and landed all the big prizes in the sport - all except one. So he's determined that this season the title of champion jockey will finally be his. But it won't be easy. There's Ben O'Brien, the brilliant young Irish rider in his first full season who already has a lead on Josh in the championship race. And leading trainer Leo Lovall, once Josh's best friend and now his most bitter enemy. There's also someone else with a keen interest in Josh. She's his biggest fan, though he has no idea she exists. And hers is the kind of obsession that will never be satisfied - not even by murder...

From AudioFile
In the last season of his career Josh Swallow is stalking winning horses, so he can garner the title of champion jockey. At the same time, he himself is being stalked. Steve Hodson narrates this novel with such honed ferocity that listeners may feel they're experiencing the plot from a jockey's saddle during a thrust-to-the-line at Cheltenham. Just as easily, Hodson creates the plummy tones of an elderly woman. He is adept at drawing out soft vowel sounds to make them sound like nails on a blackboard. Bodies, secrets, and death threats abound until the final surprise on the penultimate jump. One terrific listen! K.A.T. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
