Search - Blood Sport

Dick Francis is in top form in this novel. The main character's struggle with depression complicates his investigation into some prime bloodstock horses that have been stolen and his attempts to recover them. The insurance investigator from the insurance company is at first adversarial but becomes a friend as the story continues. Worth a read!

When English agent Gene Hawkins told his boss he'd forego his vacation to search for millionaire Dave Teller's prized missing stallion, he didn't know his retainer would include the attentions of his boss's beautiful daughter--or Teller's seldom sober wife. Nor did he know that a trail from London to New York to Las Vegas to Califonria would eventually lead to murder....
