The bestselling author of "Decider" is back with another suspenseful
ride
The hero of "Whip Hand" returns
Although more than a decade has passed since the publication of "Whip
Hand, " little time has elapsed in Sid Halley's life. Still in his
mid-thirties, he remains troubled, courageous, unwilling to admit defeat
to disabling injury or to corruption. Now, though, Sid faces nineties'
dilemmas, dangers, and deeply demanding decisions.
"I had this friend that everyone loved, and I put him on trial...I
grieved for the loss of a friendship, and for the man who looked the
same but was different, alien...despicable. I could more easily have
grieved for him dead."
Having exposed an adored racing figure as a monster, Sid must testify at
the man's trial. But the morning of his appearance, a tragic suicide
shatters the proceedings and jars Halley's conscience. Plagued by regret
and the suspicion that there's more to the death than has yet come to
light, he is catapulted into days of hard, rational detection,
heart-searching torments, and the gravest of perils. Business as usual
for Sid...
