Ned Talbot is a bookmaker, one of the last independents working his pitch at Royal Ascot. As his day draws to a close he is pestered by a man, who claims to be his father, and then is attacked and stabbed in front of him in the car park. But Ned's father is dead, both his parents died in a car crash when he was a baby and he was raised by his grandparents. Ned is plunged into a brilliant plotted but unfortunately not so well written story about the secrets hidden in his past, the mental fragility of his beloved wife, murder, money and fraud.
