Ned Talbot has been in the bookmaking business forever--since his grandfather had the business that is now his. At Royal Ascot, a gray-haired man comes to him and says he is his father. Ned disbelieves since he has always been told that his parents died in a car crash when he was a baby. Barely an hour later, his father is stabbed at the course and later dies at the hospital. Ned finds himself in a race to solve his father's mystery-- a race that may cost him more than just money. Added to his problems is move of the large techno-based bookmaking business to takeover of his small firm and a wife who is hospitalized. Readers who like Dick Francis may enjoy Sam Llewellyn nautical based tales or John Francome works.
