Author's Biography
A former civil servant, Nelson Peters has been happily married for more than thirty years. His life-long passions: music and horse racing. Peter has written over fifty songs and two hundred letters published in racing trade publications.
When he was seventeen, Peters worked with his father as a drain layer on building sites. At eighteen he backed horses as a professional gambler, betting on a system of his father’s invention, a bit like Daniel in the book.

Great read, full of great characters with and absorbing story line that hooks you in,right up to the final page.
A much wider storyline than the synopsis suggests you don't need to inside knowledge of betting or horses to enjoy it.
Really enjoyed this book even though I am not normally interested in horse racing. I though the characters were believable.
