Аннотация

Henry Grey didn’t particularly care for having been born the heir to an earldom. He was a reserved, practical young man who liked working with his hands and who sought only the right to live as he wished: but the nearest he had got to this was to ride as an amateur steeplechase jockey and to avoid successfully the match-making plans of his mother.
On impulse one day he threw up his disliked respectable desk job and joined a firm which arranged the transport of racehorses by air to all parts of the world.
Yardman Transport was his passport to many things — not least a girl to love — and on his journeys he discovered a tidy little racket which eventually brought him face to face with death. Among other troubles there was Billy, a nineteen-year-old hoodlum whose views on what to do with the aristocracy made the French Revolution look like a Sunday School treat. But Henry, as he pointed out to Billy, could be as tough as necessary: and it was necessary...
Like his four previous thrillers, the new Dick Francis will excite and entertain readers throughout the world and in many languages.
