''Admiral met the fence perfectly. He rose to it as if flight were not only for birds. And he fell . . .''
Alan York''s friend, jockey Bill Davidson, was killed in Admiral''s fall. After the race, York visits the fence and discovers a coil of wire lying beside the fence post and signs of where the wire had been attached.
The fall was no accident - but murder. Unable to convince the police of this, York is forced to turn amateur sleuth and is soon on the trail of a ruthless gang of race-fixers operating out of Brighton.
Now Alan''s
