"Roland Britten, thirty-one, bachelor, chartered accountant, spends his spare time riding in steeplechase races as an amateur jockey.  An ordered life with a spice of risk - and much to his liking.
On the day of the Cheltenham Gold Cup his whole world changes violently.  He finds himself the target of a vicious persecution for which he knows no reason, a mind-sapping mystery which, to save himself, he must solve."
