Inside track

the long version

Jamie Hutchison’s career as a champion jockey came to a horrible end when the car he was driving spun out of control, killing a young boy. Now, after spending years in prison, he’s been released with the hope of starting a new life. He has two problems, though: he can’t forgive himself and he can’t remember committing the crime. Jamie’s sister Pippa, a top horse trainer, would like Jamie to race horses again. Her attempts at helping him are honorable but she needs a lot of help herself. The owners of the horses she works with are moving their horses to rival Toby Priest, and she can’t understand how he’s turning slow, losing horses into winners. Toby Priest has his own worries. DI Jane Culpepper is asking a lot of questions about a girl who used to work for him, a girl who has just been murdered. Is it drug related like everyone’s whispering? (from the cover)
