Book Description
======
A classic mystery from Dick Francis, the champion of English storytellers.
When inventor Stephen Scott abruptly fires his winning trainer Jody
Leeds, the racing world is shocked and disgusted – though not quite
as angry as Leeds, who swears revenge on his former friend. But Steven
is convinced that Leeds has been stealing from him – and worse – and
felt he had no choice. And when Leeds decides to enact his vengance,
Steven finds out just what a nasty piece of work he really is. Because
now Steven is not only in fear of losing everything – but also his life.
Somehow, he must prove to the world that Leeds is a vicious crook –
or die trying . . . Praise for Dick Francis: ‘As a jockey, Dick Francis
was unbeatable when he got into his stride. The same is true of his
crime writing’ Daily Mirror ‘Dick Francis’s fiction has a secret ingredient
– his inimitable knack of grabbing the reader’s attention on page one
and holding it tight until the very end’ Sunday Telegraph ‘The narrative
is brisk and gripping and the background researched with care . . .
the entire story is a pleasure to relish’ Scotsman ‘Francis writing
at his best’ Evening Standard ‘A regular winner . . . as smooth, swift
and lean as ever’ Sunday Express ‘A super chiller and killer’ New York
Times Book Review Dick Francis was one of the most successful post-war
National Hunt jockeys. The winner of over 350 races, he was champion
jockey in 1953/1954 and rode for HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother,
most famously on Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National. On his retirement
from the saddle, he published his autobiography, The Sport of Queens,
before going on to write forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of
short stories (Field of 13), and the biography of Lester Piggott. During
his lifetime Dick Francis received many awards, amongst them the prestigious
Crime Writers’ Association’s Cartier Diamond Dagger for his outstanding
contribution to the genre, and three ‘best novel’ Edgar Allan Poe awards
from The Mystery Writers of America. In 1996 he was named by them as
Grand Master for a lifetime’s achievement. In 1998 he was elected a
fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and was awarded a CBE in
the Queen’s Birthday Honours List of 2000. Dick Francis died in February
2010, at the age of eighty-nine, but he remains one of the greatest
thriller writers of all time.
