classic Dick Francis. Love the hero, hate the bad guy. A good, fast, action-filled read.
Dick Francis writes about the most courageous wonderful heros, not idiots, just good people who work hard to get out of bad situations. His heros are so likable and you would just enjoy having them for friends. I've read everyone of his books, some many times over.
I enjoy all of Dick Francis' books.

If you are a horse lover and you are not reading Dick Francis, now is the time to start. Politics, suspense and horse racing-what more could you ask for! Most horse racing fans are familiar with equestrian author, Dick Francis. This is another of his many tales. English Parliament setting and the dangers and corruption within the racing world make this a "hard to put down" story. I am slowly making my way through everything this author has written. This is one of his better ones. It is a good mystery, a different story angle and there are HORSES in it!
As usual Dick Francis does it again. An easy and enjoyable read amnd a few surprises
I have most of Dick Francis's books and love each one of them. I just happen to have two of these
Very entertaining. Only 5 cassettes, so long enough to develop a good plot, but doesn't take forever to get through either. Great weekend travel audio cassette.
