• Nicholas "Foxy" Foxton, an ex-jockey and current independent financial adviser, is shocked when his colleague is gunned down beside him at the races. He gets another shock when he discovers that Herb has made him executor and chief beneficiary of his estate. Then he discovers that Herb has a whole lot of credit cards and has apparently been gambling online, losing millions of pounds. When Nicholas starts asking questions, he suddenly becomes the target of the same assassin who shot Herb. Following the best-selling formula created by his father Dick, Felix Francis creates a believable if not very original mystery set in the British horse-racing world. Like all Francis heroes, Nicholas has one foot in the horse-racing world and the other in another world, in this case personal finance. Nick likes his job and is always surprised when others find it boring, but in the book he spends more time investigating or getting chased than following the markets.
