Dick Frances mixes the wholesale gem business with horse racing in a fast-paced mystery with twists and turns. From the book cover: "As Derek Franklin, an injured steeplechase jockey, nears the end of his career, he is thrust into trouble and mayhem by the accidental death of his older brother, Greville. 'I inherited my brother's desk, his business, his gadgets, his enemies, his horses and his mistress,' Derek says. 'I inherited my brother's life, and it nearly killed me.'" A great read!
