Then, gradually, unwillingly, Steven learns that Jody has been systematically cheating him of very large sums of money. Not unnaturally he removes the horses from Jody's care, but this simple act unleashes a chain of unpredictable consequences. Overnight, Steven's peaceful existence erupts into a fierce and accelerating struggle to retain his good name and, eventually, his life. "High Stakes" takes a look at several plausible fiddles and frauds, some of them funny, some vicious, but all of them expensive for the fall guy. Subjects: Horse racing - Fiction.
