You've been given a healthy betting budget. You have the names of horses which should be winning at generous odds when they next run. So how do you convert this knowledge into the greatest coup of the twenty-first century, and most importantly, make sure the bookies will pay out?

Charlie Summer takes on the challenge in this British horse racing story from emerging racing fiction writer Richard Laws. Brother of a racehorse trainer, Charlie knows racing, and understands betting. His day job for an advertising agency means he has the contacts in the media. Mix them together and you might just have a chance, a chance of pulling off a coup.

Richard Laws, author of the Amazon horse racing thrillers 'The Syndicate Manager' and 'Gimcrack' returns with a story of punters, trainers, jockeys, racehorses, bookmakers and betting, all neatly wrapped up in lies and secrets.
