Forfeit — Dick Francis

James Tyrone was a sports writer for the Sunday Blaze with a reputation for sniffing out trouble. When Burt Chekov died a violent "accidental" death after a drunken disclosure, Tyrone smelled a story.

That story led straight to the center of a powerful ring of international intrigue, the middle of a high-finance farce, where somebody wanted silence--and would pay for it whatever the cost--whether it be blackmail, extortion or murder.
