The Case Of The Racehorse Ringer (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Sparrow was dozing in the comfortable saddle on Patch’s back, just managing to stay awake. Gertie was thrilled by the power of Silver Star. She could feel his muscles rippling as he moved. Secretly she wished that the journey would never end so that she could go on riding this wonderful creature for ever. Wiggins, however, knowing how far they had to walk, couldn’t wait for the journey to end. He was leading Patch by the reins while Slippery Sam trudged alongside him in silence. But as they passed the pub in the village near the stables, Sam suddenly turned off. “Oi,” Wiggins called. “Where you going?” “I left my bike here,” Sam explained. “I’m going to collect it.” He hurried round the back of the pub and came back a minute later wheeling a bicycle. “You never said nothing about having a bike,” Wiggins accused him. “Didn’t I? Oh well, I got it now, so I don’t have to walk back to London after all. I might see you there. Cheerio.” With that, Sam swung his leg over the crossbar and set off down the road, pedalling furiously as he disappeared into the distance.
