Knockdown

In the cutthroat world of bloodstock agents, former champion jockey Jonah Dereham finds himself entangled in a dangerous game after agreeing to bid on a magnificent horse for a reclusive, wealthy American lady. What begins as a lucrative commission quickly devolves into a brutal ordeal when, moments after the auction, Jonah is violently assaulted, leaving him with a skull-crushing injury. This attack is just the first in a series of menacing events, signaling that someone is desperately trying to sideline him, or worse. As Jonah recovers, he becomes determined to uncover the truth behind the assaults and the true intentions of those around him. He navigates a treacherous landscape of jealousy, ambition, and greed within the ostensibly genteel world of British horse racing, where secrets are deadly and the stakes are far higher than mere prize money or breeding rights. Jonah must rely on his keen instincts and an unyielding spirit to expose the hidden conspiracy before he becomes the ultimate casualty.
