Overview

Following a successful afternoon at Beverley races, Jack and Cam, a pair of Malton-based apprentice jockeys, head out for a night in Scarborough, returning to their digs confused and unable to recall their evening. So, nothing strange there! But within days, one has uncharacteristically sought to throw a race, and the other collides with a trainer while riding work on the Wold gallops. The BHA come sniffing around, sensing something is amiss. Suddenly, both their race-riding careers are in jeopardy. It couldn't come at a worse time, as Jack has a chance of riding a hugely promising colt destined to race at Royal Ascot. And it all started with that night out on the East Coast... THE GREY HORSE HUSTLE is the tale of a racing fraud, blackmail, mind games, and an unlikely friendship with a rather loud lady called Lucille. The paperback version of this book is printed in 12pt Book Antiqua font to ensure an enjoyable read. WHY TRY RICHARD LAWS RACING NOVELS?

Such a very, very clever plot and engaging characters that one can identify with... - A good fast-paced story, the villains were totally impossible to guess from earlier in the book.
