Book ID/图书代码： 10000010B36570
English Summary/英文概要： Laura Marlin’s two greatest loves in life are detective novels and animals, so she is ecstatic when her uncle agrees to let her keep a horse after they rescue it, crazed with fear, from an overturned horsebox with no number plate. But he has a condition. Before he will allow her to adopt it they have to find its former owner, just to ensure that it hasn’t been stolen and that he or she no longer wants the horse. A visit to Newmarket to investigate the thoroughbred’s origins leads Laura to the Kentucky Derby in the US and deep into the murky world of race-fixing.
