Book Description
Tim Ekaterin’s merchant bank, like all banks, invests only in sure things. Now he is about to involve it in a #5 million stallion. Top breeders reckon it’s the safest bet in racing, but racing is riddled with dubious dealmakers - people to whom no bet is safe until it’s paid in blood.
