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
