It is 1978. Before the internet, and Amazon is still just a river. Our narrator, having narrowly escaped with his life from an encounter with his underworld associates, has decided it is time to abandon his life of crime and start afresh. In an era when the only ‘mobile’ phones were ungainly things built into rich men's cars, and the fax machine was still a novelty, working with racehorses on a country estate in Suffolk, far from the more unsavory parts of London, presents an unexpected solution. But the criminals with murderous intent rear their ugly heads again and we follow an adventure filled with barristers, builders, bookies, racehorses, and life in the English countryside while trying to discover who is out to kill. There is romance too, but carrying his dreadful secret, our narrator must try to carve himself a new life before his old one catches up with him and wrecks it all. This book is woven around lighthearted incidents and a gentle growing romance; although powerful tension is building as the plot twists and turns and the clock is ticking. This engaging thriller unfolds against the background of a bygone era and the fast-paced story captivates and involves readers as the chase is on.
