Publisher's Synopsis
Stud farm manager and bloodstock agent Andrew Dixon discovers the awful truth behind the deaths of two prominent horse racing figures. Meanwhile in Beijing, a quiet politician edges closer to China's highest office. With European racing and breeding still reeling from overproduction and the financial crisis, Andrew realises commercial pressure is distorting the sport he loves into something more sinister. When so much is at stake and harnessing the might of the Chinese Dragon the only bet for survival, intimidation, blackmail and murder are just means to an end. His life on the line and credibility in ruins, Andrew must team up with an old friend in the Met and defy the odds in a race against time to stop a brutal public atrocity that will send shockwaves through Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and around the world.
