Heinemann/Secker & Warburg/Octopus, 1986. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 6" x 9. H/B 778 pages, condition is very good, slight tanning to the edges of the pages. Minor edge wear to the DJ. Remainder marks to top edge of pages. Complete & Unabridged. Dick Francis is now firmly established at the top of the tree of bestselling thriller-writers. His personal background in the racing world lends the fast-moving action of his novels a unique authenticity, giving the reader a rare insight into the hard grind as well as the glamour of life amongst horses, trainers and stable lads. In a world of high stakes and tremendous risks, where villains will stop at nothing to achieve their ends, Dick Francis weaves his compelling narratives with the sustained control-of a master craftsman. His heroes are humorous and forceful, like Sid Halley, a gutsy ex-champion jockey turned private investigator, and Charles Todd, an artist whose careless exterior belies his deep-seated courage and determination.
