¿Bluegrass Kentucky
Summoned home unexpectedly from Europe, Tom Fraser, an aspiring amateur steeplechase jockey, discovers that his father has perished in a fire along with a prized broodmare, and his family's farm, Caledonia, is now owned by mysterious Venezuelan billionaire, Hector Delmontez.
Pitched into a police investigation of not only his father's apparent murder, but Delmontez's involvement in narcotics, money laundering, and insurance fraud, Tom and an unlikely supporting cast find themselves on a daunting journey that takes them from Lexington, Kentucky, to the pomp of Royal Ascot; from the glitter of Dubai to the cutting-edge tech world of Bangalore, and all the way, via the charms of Woodbine and Saratoga racetracks, to the iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs - with a shot to run for the roses.
Bob Fraser dealt his son his last card. How Tom plays it will determine his destiny.
