One of the masters of British mystery writers has returned after a long absence. In his new novel, Dick Francis picks up where he left off with one of his best characters ever, Sid Halley. Halley, a retired jockey turned private investigator, is at his best working part time for a government agency and for one of horse racing’s richest owners. The story bounces back and forth between race track murders, race fixing and internet gambling with Sid, his ex-father-in-law, and his new love interest taxed to the limit to uncover the mysteries and ferret out the bad guys (and girls). An action packed thriller and who-dun-it sure to please long time Francis fans and anyone else who likes an enjoyable read.
