About the Book:
When jockey Martin Stukely dies following a fall at Cheltenham, his friend Gerard Logan becomes embroiled in a perilous search for a stolen videotape.
Logan is a glass-blower on the verge of widespread acclaim. He has long been accustomed to the dangers inherent in working with molten glass, but now he is faced with a series of unexpected threats, first to his livelihood, then to his courage and, finally, to his life.
Believing the missing videotape to contain priceless information, and wrongly convinced that Logan knows where to find it, a vicious group of villains sets out to extract from him the information he does not have. Logan reckons that to survive he must find out the truth. The journey is a thorny one, and the final race to the tape throws more hurdles and more hazards in his way than his dead jockey friend could ever have imagined.
