Outside Chance

A THRILLER TO MAKE YOUR HEART RACE.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? And what is the secret from the owner's past that he is keeping from the police? Doggedly chasing the truth, Ben finds himself tested, both physically and psychologically, as he gradually uncovers a tale of prejudice, ambition and heartbreak.Praise for Lyndon Stacey's previous novels:'Lively, absorbing... the reader has a very good time' Gerald Kaufman, Scotsman'The closest to taking Dick Francis' crown' Bookseller'Stacey is a highly original author... she certainly knows how to deliver an invigorating experience for the reader' Good Book GuideStacey, Lyndon is the author of 'Outside Chance ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780099463443 and ISBN 009946344X.
