Stalking Horse

Stalking Horse is another dark racing thriller from the natural successor to Dick Francis (Irish Times), John Francome. The perfect read for fans of Felix FrancisPulse and Triple Crown.

The descriptions of races, from the jockeys saddle, are realistic enough to excite a confirmed non-racegoer - Scotsman

Jockey Josh Swallow is about to retire and hes aiming to go out at the top. Hes ridden over 1000 winners and landed all the big prizes in the sport - all except one. So hes determined that this season the title of champion jockey will finally be his. But it wont be easy. Theres Ben OBrien, the brilliant young Irish rider in his first full season who already has a lead on Josh in the championship race. And leading trainer Leo Lovall, once Joshs best friend and now his most bitter enemy. Theres also someone else with a keen interest in Josh. Shes his biggest fan, though he has no idea she exists. And hers is the kind of obsession that will never be satisfied - not even by murder...
