Enquiry
(eBook)

This New York Times bestselling author "captures our attention and holds us spellbound" with a mystery about a horse jockey accused of fixing a race (The New York Times). Dick Francis, Edgar-Award-winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing. A closed-door enquiry has found Kelly Hughes guilty of the lowest crime imaginable by a professional jockey, throwing a race for money. He's been framed, his reputation is scarred, he's been banned from horse racing, and there's nowhere to turn for help. But that doesn't mean he has to take it. He's begun his own investigation to uncover the people who ruined his career, and to find out why they want him off the track. But when the enquiry gets too personal, asking the wrong questions might just get him killed.
