Work Description

Sid Halley, the ex-champion jockey turned investigator has uncovered an obnoxious crime committed by a friend whom he -and everyone else -has held in deep affection. On the morning set for the opening of the friend's trial, at which Sid is due to be called as witness, other people's miseries explode and send him spinning into days of hard rational detection and heart-searching torment.
