Description
From the New York Times–bestselling “master of crime fiction and equine thrills,” a jockey turned investigator tackles crime in the horse racing world (Newsday).
 
Dick Francis, Edgar Award–winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.
 
A hard fall took hotshot jockey Sid Halley out of the horse racing game, leaving him with a crippled hand, a broken heart, and the desperate need for a new job. Now he’s landed a position with a detective agency, only to catch a bullet from some common thug. And things are about to get even more hectic. The agency is giving him a case to handle on his own.
 
The case brings him to the door of Zanna Martin, a woman who might be just what Sid needs to get him back up and running. But he’s up against a field of thoroughbred criminals, and the odds against him are making it a long shot that he’ll even survive . . .
 
“Dick Francis is a wonder.” —The Plain Dealer
“An imaginative craftsman of high order.” —The Sunday Times
“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
“A rare and magical talent . . . who never writes the same story twice.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
