A.P. McCoy, born Anthony Peter McCoy, is widely regarded as the greatest jump jockey of all time. He won the Champion Jockey title a record 20 consecutive times and was the first jockey to be named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2010. His four non-fiction books trace his career from its early days through to his retirement in 2015.
McCoy also turned his racing knowledge into fiction with the Duncan Claymore series, co-written with other authors. Taking the Fall and Narrowing the Field follow a jockey who gets pulled into the criminal underside of the racing world. The books draw on McCoy’s firsthand experience of the sport and its pressures, giving them an authenticity that other racing thrillers often lack.
