Dead reckoning
(Book)

"Champion jockey Harry Radcliffe is forced to enter another deadly game when he finds the body of local prostitute Alice Goode. The prime suspect for her murder is ex-con Jake Smith. When Jake demands that Harry gets him off the hook by tracking down the real killer, Harry has no choice but to agree, not when the life of his estranged, pregnant wife Annabel is at stake -- as well as his own. As Harry begins to question Alice's former clients, he uncovers some surprising secrets in her past, secrets that link Alice with members of his own family. But when he finds himself used as target practice, it's clear that someone else is equally determined to stop him finding out the truth. Will Harry survive long enough to race ride again? The odds against him are murderously high..." --,Book jacket.
