Hardback. Condition: Good.

Harrison Foster, a crisis manager for a London firm, is summoned to Newmarket after a fire in the Chadwick Stables kills six very valuable horses, including the short-priced favorite for the Derby. There is far more to the simple fire than initially meets the eye.for a start, human remains are found among the equestrian ones in the burnt-out shell.
