"Gene Hawkins, investigator by trade, was expert at arranging events so that they appeared accidental to all involved. Therefore when he himself became a witness to an "accident" his curiosity flared to bright and he insisted on looking into what he regarded as a work of art. He finds himself trailing after lost blood horses over half america, until he in turn became the prey and the sport changed sides with a vengeance." From book jacket
