At thirty-five, Freddie Croft has retired as a steeplechase jockey and now he runs a fleet of motor horseboxes transporting runners from their stables to the races. One of Freddie's hard-and-fast rules is that his drivers should never pick up a hitchhiker. But they do, of course, and one day, by the time the horsebox reaches Freddie's yard, the passenger is found to be dead.The unwelcome corpse on his doorstep plunges Freddie into a situation where he faces a very different kind of danger from the old familiar perils of jumping hedges. As his list of suspects lengthens, he needs to summon up every ounce of courage in order to save his business and his life.
