This is a signed first edition in good condition.  It was published by Michael Joseph Ltd in 1997.

'Damaging allegations cost young Benedict Juliard his hopes of a career as a steeplechase jockey.  Instead he's forced to join ranks alongside his father, a high-flying businessman battling a Dorset by-election for a street level entry into politics.  The campaign gets off to a flying start.  But this time the obstacles ahead aren't just dangerous - they're lethal.  Horses, politics, lies and treachery.  They can all carry the maximum 10lb penalty.  And, as any jockey knows, a 10lb penalty can be a killer . . .'
