Beschreibung

A galloping loose horse on a dark November dawn threatens trouble for Helen Murray's thriving livery business. An unknown hand has opened the door of a very special stable and the valuable star of the yard is running wild.


Who has tried to steal him? No time now to search for the culprit, for with half a dozen horses due to hunt that day, the stable staff are at full stretch. Clients pay high fees for their thrills and spills, and though hunting foxes is taboo, class warriors and saboteurs use dangerous methods to disrupt trail-hunts with hounds, and galloping full speed over unknown obstacles produces heart-stopping moments before the huntsman blows for Home.


A shortcut across forbidden territory leads to a painful loss for Helen, and worse follows as a brutal double murder rocks her world. Brutal – and inexplicable. Is it a former client with a grudge? What is the role of the nearby Chinese cultural centre, and how do you protect a horse worth millions from a determined enemy?


When DCI Martin Robb responds to his eldest daughter's appeal for help, he discovers the murky truth beneath the surface of this horse-loving community. Though their shared passion unites the owners, those who buy with borrowed money are in trouble when payback time looms.


A colourful, characterful parade of horses and riders fills the pages of this action-packed thriller.

    World in Their Hands - The Story...

    Shortlisted for the Sunday Times Rugby Book of the Year 2023  World in their Hands recounts the remarkable events that led to a group of friends from south-west London staging the inaugural Women’s Rugby World Cup in 1991. The tournament was held just 13 years after teams from University College London and King’s contested a match that catalysed the growth of the women’s game in the UK, and the organisers overcame myriad obstacles before, during and after the World Cup. Those challenges, which included ingrained misogyny, motherhood, a recession, the Gulf War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, provide a fitting framing device for a book that celebrates female achievement in the face of adversity.  Although ostensibly a story about women’s rugby, this is a tale that has rare crossover appeal. It is not only the account of a group of inspirational women who took on the institutional misogyny that existed in rugby clubs across the globe to put on a first ever Women’s Rugby World Cup. It is also the compelling and relatable tale of how those women, their peers and others in the generations before them, reshaped the idea of what it means to be a woman, finding acceptance and friendship on boggy rugby pitches. At the time, with the men’s game tying itself up in knots about professionalism and apartheid, these women were a breath of fresh air. Three decades on, their achievements deserve to be highlighted to a wider audience.
