An investment banker arranges the purchase of a champion racehorse and
gets caught up in murder in this New York Times bestseller that's
"fraught with violence, conspiracy and, of course, horses" (The Boston
Globe).
Tim Ekaterin raised millions of dollars to finance the purchase of
Sandcastle, a champion racer, only to discover an apparent defect in the
horse. Investigating further, Ekaterin learns that the business of
investment banking is nothing compared to the cutthroat world of
horseracing--a world where violence and murder only raise the stakes...
