The Finishing Line

In Estephan Wagner's poignant debut, he meets Noel Martin. Paralysed from the neck down 13 years ago when a concrete block was thrown through his windscreen by neo-Nazis in eastern Germany, Noel's lifelong dream came true 3 years ago when he bought a racehorse to compete at Royal Ascot and it came in first. Although the horse has given him a passionate reason to live, his health has been deteriorating and he has decided that he wants to go to Switzerland for euthanasia.
