Dead Heat

Max Moreton is a rising star in the culinary world when his restaurant and reputation take a hit when a case of massive food poisoning is reported from one of his catered affairs at the Newmarket racetrack. Positive that he did nothing wrong, Max sets out to prove it.

Dick Francis is once again back to form with this book. I felt that "Under Orders" was a bit choppy, but this book (with the assistance of his son Felix) has a smoother feel, and some plot twists that are absolutely thrilling. A definite page-turner.
