Twelve in the Sixth

Charlie De Luca
4.08/5 (246 ratings)
Jed Cavendish picks up his fellow jockey, Eddie O'Neill's, phone when it rings in the weighing room and hears the strange message, 'Twelve in the Sixth.' When Eddie comes back, Jed forgets to pass on the message. It didn't make any sense and was probably just a crank call anyway, he tells himself. Later Jed is not so sure when he is contacted by Eddie, seemingly in some distress, only to find out later that he has had a serious car accident and is in a coma.
Jed starts to piece everything together and realises that things don't add up. Eddie won in the sixth race, on a horse called Happy Days, who also happened to be number twelve. Jed didn't pass on the message, Eddie won the race and is now lying in a hospital bed.
Jed is convinced that his friend's accident was actually retribution for not complying with the instruction to pull a race.
The police think that Eddie had simply taken too many diuretics in an effort to keep his weight down and passed out at the wheel, due to dehydration. Jed isn't convinced and enlists the help of a biochemist, Imogen James. Imogen has troubles of her own and the pair become embroiled in unravelling a complex, criminal plot. No one is quite what they seem and the list of suspects keeps on growing at an alarming rate. Can they unmask the criminals before they strike again ?
A fast paced, racing thriller for fans of Dick Francis and John Francome.
