Ben Copperfield is a freelance journalist who specialises in all things equine so when he is called with the news that the hot favourite for the Cheltenham Gold Cup has been kidnapped just a few weeks before the race he wastes no time in following the story up. This could be the racing scoop of a lifetime. But as the date of the Gold Cup draws ever closer it is unclear whether the missing horse is still alive. Where could a valuable racehorse be hidden for so long? & what is the secret from the owners past that he is keeping from the police? Doggedly chasing the truth Ben finds himself tested both physically & psychologically as he gradually uncovers a tale of prejudice ambition & heartbreak.
