Caught between the Boston Irish mob and the mob from the old sod--Not
a good place to be
Michael Knight and Lex Devlin agree to defend a jockey accused of
murdering a fellow jockey during a race at Boston's Suffolk Downs.
Michael's expertise in the machinations of the horse racing game is
expected to serve them well. But a personal attachment to the murdered
jockey thrusts Michael and Lex into the midst of a conflict between
Boston's Irish mafia and remnants of the terrorist branch of the Irish
Republican Army. Now they are in the crosshairs of both, and the
brutality of these combatants knows no bounds.
As Michael and Lex uncover layer after layer of deceptions involved in
the seamier side of horse racing, they become more dangerous to the
gangs. In action that shuttles between Ireland and Boston, the lives of
the two lawyers as well as those close to them are in the gravest danger
and the criminals show no mercy in their quest to put an end to this
threat. As their investigation hurtles forward, it could end a wonderful
law partnership due to the absence of living partners.
