Eddie Malloy looks set to get a big break at last. Multi-millionaire businessman, Broga Cates, has hired Eddie to ride his horses and all looks set fair for Eddie's attempt to reclaim his Champion Jockey title.

But two of Eddie's close jockey-friends are cut down within days of each other. One is found dead in a horsebox at his daughter's birthday party; another is paralysed in a road accident. Both families need Eddie's help, but one evil and powerful man wants Eddie to stay out of it.

From the country racetracks of England to a beautiful woman in Barbados, Eddie journeys to try and find what lies behind the fate of his friends. Somebody wants him dead. Others want him for different things and Eddie finds himself fighting once more to win justice for his friends.
