Returning home, to his mother – a racehorse trainer and the ‘First Lady’ of racing – Tom discovers the training business is on the edge, and facing a threat far more dangerous than a run of bad form. Tom finds himself on a very different, but just as deadly, battlefield where his military skills are tested …kill or be killed?
