All bets are off when it comes to kidnap, mayhem, and murder … When the "Grand Dame of Kentucky Racing" enlists private eye Michael Rhineheart to deliver the ransom for a kidnapped broodmare and her foal, Rhineheart thinks it will be a speedy transaction. But what should have been a simple mission turns into a deadly double-cross, and soon Rhineheart is on the hunt for the horses … and a ruthless killer. Fans of Dick Francis will love Birkett's hardboiled gumshoe and his Kentucky bluegrass flavor.
