Shirley E. (luvantiques) - reviewed on 2/4/2009 + 187 more book reviews

I love Dick Francis and this book is one of his best. It is the continuing story of Sid Halley, a top steepleschase jockey severely injured in his last race. Forced to give up racing, his wife has left him and he's despondent, Sid goes to work for a detective agency. For 2 years he's just been putting in his time, but then his boss gives him a seemingly simple case to check out. As with all Francis' books, there's more to the story than first appears. Sid finds himself dealing with sadistic people bent on covering up their evil deeds. The tension builds with each chapter as Sid digs deeper into the case. If you love a good mystery, Dick Francis can't be beat!!
