Continuing his slow emergence from his father's shadow, Francis (Dick Francis's Damage, 2014, etc.) packs his very English hero off on a secret mission to America, with mixed results.Tony Andretti, the deputy director of the Federal Anti-Corruption in Sports Agency, is convinced something's rotten in the state of New York. But his earlier investigation of Belmont trainer Adam Mitchell, whom he suspected of illegal doping, went so badly awry that he's convinced FACSA itself harbors a mole. So he asks Jefferson Hinkley, of the British Horseracing Association's Integrity Service, to go undercover, posing as a visitor looking to pick up tips from the Americans he admires while he secretly does exactly the opposite. Although he's not eager to follow in the footsteps of Jason Connor, the Sports Illustrated reporter who died suddenly after agreeing to help Tony in the earlier case, Jeff is intrigued by the prospect of witnessing American horse racing's Triple Crown.
