Good Used. A Father And Son Working Together To Defeat A Deadly Anniversary. At nearly eighteen, easy-going young Benedict Juliard has no stronger ambition than to ride in steeplechases as an amateur jockey. His father, George, driven by powerful urges towards a life of public service and politics, asks his only son to enter into a pact that neither of them will commit any act that could destroy the father's growing reputation and career. Five years later, his father's increasingly violent enemies attack Ben, and through him his father is to be discredited and destroyed.
