Search - Second Wind

As usual, Dick Francis writes a great mystery. This one doesn't center around horse racing as much as some of his other books do, but instead about a TV meteorologist who becomes involved in solving a mystery about black market dealing in .... I don't want to reveal too much!!!! If you like Dick Francis as much as I do, you'll want to read this one, I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it.

I must admit the book was slow at the beginning. The temptation to toss the book a get another was an idea that came to me several times. But each time I refused to follow through there was just enough urge to continue. The SECOND WIND came when he finally got on to the eye of the hurricane fly through. From there the story got rather interesting and so I finished the book. Turns out to be not a total waste but a ok book.

typically fast paced Francis mystery thriller - this one involves quite an amazing hurricane and a meteorologist.

Fast paced, fun Dick Francis.

In this one, the inimitable Dick Francis deals with a weatherman in the aftermath of a hurricane. As always, it's great stuff.

A different mystery for Dick Francis, but a good one.

I tried to read this but could'nt get into it....

Cool! Like all Dick Francis books. Well written. Great plot.

TV meteorologist Perry Stuart has never witnessed thge catastrophic power of a giant Caribbean hurricane---his preferred area of expertise lies in predicting drab periods of English drizzle with obligatory heavy rain and sunsine to floow. That is, until a fellow forecaster offers him a hurricane-chasing ride in a small plane as a vaction diversion. The diversion turns tragic when the plane is downed---and Stuart barely escapes with his life. But he can't escape what he saw on the island---and if the people who have tracked him back to England have their way, Stuart's forecast will call for a 50 percent change of showers, along with zero chance of survival...

nice fast paced story with a little bit of horses and flying and hurricanes good read

Dick is a great story teller!

Suspense, as allows with a Dick Francis book.

I haven't read the book but my husband did and enjoyed it. Here is what the back cover says:

This looks to be a very interesting read....

Another great Francis read. More about what is going on at an island than horse racing--although it (horse racing) is very connected to the plot.
