When a racing columnist recommends some "can't lose" horses--and then dies--one of his colleagues becomes suspicious. But he may not live to tell the tale because, as the dead man has already made clear, there's no such thing as a sure thing.

Blackmail. It's a nasty word, and a nasty business. James Tyrone is a well-regarded investigative racing columnist, working for a tabloid rag. Why? Because his wife of over a decade is almost completely paralysed with polio, and the Blaze pays better than the more refined newspapers. He needs the money. But Tyrone is still a young man, with a young man's needs, and when he falls into a passionate affair, he leaves himself open to blackmail by a corrupt bookmaker. There's big money to be made when you know the favorite's not going to show up for the race.
Dick Francis' stoic heros never give up, though; and this is one of his most memorable and gripping stories. Highly recommended.
