About the book
When globe-hopping British First Secretary Peter Darwin returns to his childhood home of Gloucestershire, England, he must confront long-hidden memories, a string of racehorse deaths, and homicide. Darwin soon realizes that the key to the dark events involves his own past, and he soon wishes he'd never come back, because he just might never leave again...alive.
