NOTES ON THE ADAPTATIONS
BREAKING POINT
This story is adapted from the novel "Nerve" by Roy Lomax. No idea
why they changed the title - copyright reasons, perhaps?
PROOF

RAT RACE
Adapted from the novel by Martyn Read.
ENQUIRY
A jockey does not like to be labelled as a cheat, especially by a
Stewards' Enquiry. But Kelly Hughes' horses don't perform as they should.
He knows he's been framed, but can he find the reason? His investigations
uncover some dirty business which threatens his own life....
