Syndicate

Felix Francis

Book - 2024

Chester Newton has built his fortune organizing racehorse syndicates, where top horses are co-owned and managed by several parties. These joint enterprises are high risk and high reward--and for Chester, it's almost always been reward. The stakes only get higher as the syndicates grow larger, and every race means the possibility of complete failure--or ecstatic success. After an anxious morning waiting for the results of the Epsom Derby, the premier flat race in the UK, Chester has an afternoon of explosive triumph--and an evening of total terror. Someone tries to take over one of his syndicates by force--and by threats of serious harm to him and his family. For the first time in Chester's life, it's not just a horse race or ...money at stake--it's his life and the lives of his loved ones. -- more
