Longshot (2010)
Longshot
“Angela, I learned, lived in a stable hostel with five other girls, who described her as “moody.” An indistinct photograph of her showed the face of a child, not a young woman, and pleas to “Find This Girl” could realistically never have been successful if they depended on recognizing her from her likeness in newsprint.
There was no account in fact of her having been found, and after a week or so the clippings about her stopped.
There were no cuttings at all for July, when it seemed the jump-rac...ing fraternity took a holiday, but they began again with various accounts of the opening of the new season in Devon in August: “Vickers Victories Continue!”
Nolan had ridden a winner on one of Fiona’s horses: “the well-known amateur now out on bail facing charges of assault resulting in death ...”
In early September Nolan had hit the news again, this time in giving evidence at a Jockey Club inquiry in defense of Tremayne, who stood accused of doping one of his horses.
With popping eyes, since Tremayne to me even on such short acquaintance seemed the last person to put his whole way of life in jeopardy for so trivial a reason, I read that one of his horses had tested positive to traces of the stimulants theobromine and caffeine, prohibited substances.MoreLess

The shaft he inspected was straight and smooth, as well as a not common wood, so must have been made on a machine. So it has to be one of two persons. Bob who's a very good woodworker and Mackie's husband who is very jealous as well as being slightly mentally deficient in certain ways. He has all the right equipment for making arrows on a lathe as these seem to have been.And they've read the books, although I don't know why there is no flight feather or even a piece of cardboard. Maybe because he knew it would be a very close shot.
Just an opinion.
