Won the Edgar Award for Best Novel (1970).

Bert Checkov, a racing correspondent, drunkenly confesses to fellow Fleet Street hack James Tyrone that he's been giving his readers tips for years. Five minutes later, Checkov falls out of a seventh-floor window. Tyrone is convinced there's more to Checkov's death than meets the eye. When he starts digging, he discovers that many of Checkov's tips never even made it to the start. But the deeper Tyrone gets, the dirtier and more dangerous this business appears to be. If he's not careful, he'll be following Checkov to his death.
