From the twisting, spiralling centre of a full-blown tropical storm threat and danger on the world's greatest racecourses, Dick Francis's thriller is a hurricane-force masterpiece.
BEWARE THE EYE OF A HURRICANE...

It takes a truly frightening accident for Stuart to discover the secret of Trox Island - and plenty of things about the human race that he would rather he didn't know.
