Le Tour - Paperback

by Rsj Steel (Author)

In the colourful world of the Tour de France, the stakes are high and danger lurks around every corner. While private detective and cycling fan Edwin Strong is excited to meet his heroes, unfortunately the only reason he's there is to investigate them, along with their biggest rivals. Under cover as a journalist and rapidly out of his depth with two conflicting engagements, he becomes increasingly aware of the murky involvement of big pharma in global sport, while finding fellow journalists hard to read, unlike the race commentators.

His relationship with his girlfriend is under stress and he's never quite sure how reliable his colleague is. What would be the best way to cope with the pressure he's under? And why can't he manage to do that?

In an era of rigorous testing for banned substances in sport, how would you cheat your way to the top?
