He'd been harassed, beaten, shot, even lost a hand--enough was enough. For the sake of his wife and new daughter, he gave up that life, and he thought nothing would ever lure him back into the game. <p/>He thought wrong. <p/>Sir Richard Stewart, chairman of the racing authority, begs Sid to investigate a series of dodgy races. Sid refuses. Then Sir Richard is found dead under suspicious circumstances. And then a man with an Irish accent contacts Sid, telling him to deliver a whitewashed report about the suspected race-fixing...or else. <p/>At first Sid ignores these warnings. But as the intimidation tactics escalate--and his own family comes under threat--Sid realizes he must meet his enemy head-on...or he might pay the ultimate price for his refusal.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Felix Francis] has one priceless advantage.
