RACING IS AN ART WORTH KILLING FOR . . .

The brand new 2026 novel from the master of the racing thriller - now available to pre-order in hardback and ebook.

Fabian Tulley is only trying to run his own art gallery in London's Mayfair in peace - but someone is determined to ruin his life.

Accused of selling a fake Sir Alfred Munnings painting, he is unable to prove his innocence because the police are holding the piece as evidence.

While running a retail stand at Cheltenham Racecourse, some of his other paintings are vandalised. Then, two men try to run him down in the racecourse car park.

To make matters even worse, his regular clients are threatening to keep away from his gallery and his landlords are trying to terminate his lease. Everything is against him, but with someone trying to destroy his life's work, Fabian resolves not to cave under the pressure.

Saving his business will prove to be the fight of his life - or his death . . .
