Could a horse run under another's name be somehow connected to a smuggling ring?\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eIt's the summer of 1919. Britons are trying to recover from four years of war and a pandemic that killed a quarter million of their friends and family. One distraction is a flutter on the ponies.\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eDespite high unemployment, from the return of soldiers from France, many find a few pence or even pounds to wager at the track. Events like the Royal Ascot, where King George and Queen Mary could be seen in a landau, help to raise spirits but even there the occasion is tainted by racketeering.\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eIn this sequel to \u003ci\u003eThe Pipe Smoker's Cut\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Turcotte, a photographer for The Buckminster Gazette and former equestrian, becomes embroiled in the underworld when a close friend suddenly disappears from the stable where he worked. In this fast-paced tale of crooks, cops, and even MI5, Turcotte rubs shoulders with notables of the time, from both sides of the law, and soon learns that a walkover is not as simple as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46319273312407,"sku":"9781777267384","price":1542.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781777267384.webp?v=1768683326","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-walkover-9781777267384","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
