Theo Jennings, an auctioneer in Newmarket, England, has been climbing the ladder at the bloodstock sales company for the past three years. He´s planning on making his first ever multi-million sale with a yearling colt. When he finds the colt dead a few days after the auction, Theo is suspicious that there was foul play involved.
As Theo begins to investigate the death, he finds that answers aren´t coming readily from those who he questions. When a person´s body is discovered in the same stable a few days later, all fingers point to him. As his world turns upside down with the accusations, Theo decides to further his investigation.
The only way to clear Theo´s name is to find the real murderer, but it isn´t just the police who have their eye on him-the killer has a target on his back.
