Description:
As a racehorse, Moondancer had been a champion; but as a stallion he was a total failure. So when he is found dead in his box at the Drumgarrick stud one morning, his owners feel more relieved than sorry, and promptly make a massive five million pound insurance claim. But then Drumgarrick's owner disappears and his son Fergus is left facing financial ruin...and a corpse. A brilliant amateur jockey, Fergus has a vested interest in seeing the claim is met in full. But Jack Hendred, the insurance investigator, is sure that it is fraudulent, and is determined to prove it... About the Author Ex-National Hunt Champion Jockey John Francome is a broadcaster on racing for Channel 4. He lives in Berkshire.
