출판사 설명
New York Times-bestselling author: A mystery unfolds at the races in this moving crime novel about a struggling ex-jockey—for fans of Clive Cussler and James Lee Burke.
“Brilliant all around.” —Booklist
Seven years ago, Miles Pussett was a steeplechase jockey, loving the rush of the race. But after an unfortunate event, he left horseracing behind and swore he would never return. Now he gets his adrenaline rush from riding headfirst down the Cresta Run, a three-quarter-mile Swiss ice chute, reaching speeds of up to 80 miles per hour.
Finding himself in St Moritz during the same weekend as White Turf, when high-class horseracing takes place on the frozen lake, he gets talked into helping out with the horses. Against his better judgement, he decides to assist, but things aren’t as innocent as they seem.
When he discovers something suspicious is going on in the races, something that may have a profound impact on his future, Miles begins a search for answers. But someone is adamant about stopping him—and they’ll go to any length to do it.

A bit awkward
A good read in the end, but a bit awkward going back and forth so much. I also found much of it depressing, which may have been the objective of the author. Uplifting in the end, which was perhaps necessary.
Unusually boring
I usually enjoy this author, but this was a book about absolutely nothing.
