"The sequel to Break-In features the same hero Kit Fielding, champion steeplechase jockey. Still embroiled in a bitter, long-standing feud, this time an unknown criminal is destroying valuable race horses with a mysterious captive-bullet gun, or bolt. And his employers are being blackmailed into agreeing to manufacture plastic handguns that can't be detected by airport metal detectors. "
