Description
Stud Poker by John Francome is a thrilling blend of racing drama and high-stakes intrigue, packed with unexpected twists that keep the reader hooked until the very end. When jockey Paul Raven suffers a career-ending fall at Plumpton, it appears at first to be just another tragic accident in National Hunt racing. But suspicions soon arise when his closest friend, Alex Drew, becomes implicated and a troubling pattern of mysterious mishaps begins to surface.
Digging deeper, Paul uncovers a link between the accidents and a private poker school run by the wealthy and powerful Clay Wentworth. What starts as a world of horses and hurdles quickly spirals into a dangerous game where gambling, deception, and ruthless ambition intertwine. As Paul edges closer to the truth, he finds himself facing risks far greater than those on the racecourse—because in this deadly game of Stud Poker, the stakes could not be higher.
A gripping read for fans of Felix Francis and Dick Francis, Stud Poker delivers sharp suspense, racing authenticity, and page-turning drama that will keep you guessing until the final chapter.
