Description
From a New York Times–bestselling author, a “solid winner in just about any mystery/adventure race” featuring a private eye targeting racetrack corruption (Kirkus Reviews).
Dick Francis, Edgar Award–winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.
Sid Halley’s career as a jockey—and his marriage—were brought to a sudden end by a heartbreaking accident. His glory days are over, but now, as a private investigator, he still finds a certain satisfaction in successfully solving a case. His latest one, though, could prove to be his undoing.
Rosemary Casper, wife of an elite racehorse trainer, has begged for his help in figuring out why her husband’s most promising horses have been performing so poorly. Halley thinks she’s overreacting at first. Then hints of deceit and brutal danger make him think twice . . .
Praise for the writing of Dick Francis:
“Dick Francis is a wonder.” —The Plain Dealer
“Few things are more convincing than Dick Francis at a full gallop.” —Chicago Tribune
“Few match Francis for dangerous flights of fancy and pure inventive menace.” —Boston Herald
“[The] master of crime fiction and equine thrills.” —Newsday
“[Francis] has the uncanny ability to turn out simply plotted yet charmingly addictive mysteries.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Francis is a genius.” —Los Angeles Times
“Nobody executes the whodunit formula better.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“A rare and magical talent… who never writes the same story twice.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
