Dr. Christine Rankin, the fraught narrator of bestseller Francis’s moving fourth thriller set in the world of British horse-racing (after 2016’s Triple Crown), suffers from panic attacks and an eating disorder. Her troubles mount with the death of a patient under her care, an unidentified middle-aged man who was found unconscious in a Cheltenham Racecourse restroom and later died while she was attending to an accident victim. After a complaint is filed against Rankin, she’s suspended from work, and suicidal thoughts lead to her confinement in a psychiatric institution. After she’s released and finds work as a doctor at the Cheltenham Racing Festival, she eagerly finds out more about the dead man’s identity and the circumstances of his death. Rankin’s obsession grows after she learns that an injured jockey she’s treating lies to her about recognizing the dead man. Francis devises a subtle, clever scheme for the heart of the mystery, and he excels at making his broken lead credible and sympathetic even as she engages in reckless behavior. Agent: Ed Wilson, Johnson & Alcock.
While on duty as a physician in a British hospital emergency room, Dr. Chris Reynolds attempts to save a man, but he dies of mysterious causes, and no one knows who he is. Narrating from the first-person point of view, Claire Corbett becomes Chris, revealing her troubled thoughts as she investigates the death and as she struggles with depression and a fragile relationship with her husband. Performing a multitude of regional British accents with ease, Corbett creates suspense through her character portrayals and pace as internal and external pressures build. Chris is convinced that her patient has been murdered, but who would want to kill him--whoever he is--and why? And now, why does it appear they also want to kill her?
