Product Description
Product Description
At twenty to midnight Neil Griffon’s home is broken into and he is roughly abducted by masked men. He has no idea who they are, or what they want. But when Neil wakes up, hours later, he quickly discovers that unless he cooperates his kidnappers will destroy his father’s precious horses, racing stable and ultimately Neil himself.
Returned to take charge of the stables, Neil can tell no-one about his ordeal. Vicious threats and horrible violence against his horses become a day-to-day reality and he is forced to comply with his blackmailer’s wishes. Trapped in a war of attrition, Neil realises he must find a way to stop these criminals before his nerve gives out. After all, a choice between his integrity and his life is no choice at all...
Ingram
In charge of his father's stables after a grisly accident lands the old man in the hospital, Neil Grifton finds himself brutally assaulted and abducted and forced to make a tough decision about the business. Reprint.

Two Unhappy Father-Son Relationship,
By APRICOT "ryoko" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bonecrack (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a story of two father-son couples; the hero who is temporary in charge of a training stable and his cold-hearted father, and a spoiled son who wants to be a champion jockey and his fanatic, ruthless father. Their unhappy relationship is lightly and smoothly described in the fast-paced, thrilling story, yet I am strongly impressed by the relationship. Francis is really a good writer. And it is also interesting that a daily life of a training stable is vividly described.

Political Connection!,

This review is from: Bonecrack (Paperback)
I will not give any of the plot away -- but after you have read this book ask yourself this question: Is there anyone high in the political world who matches the specifics of any major character in this mystery? The question is not sterile.

Excite by the best mystery writer today!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bonecrack (Mass Market Paperback)
Dick Francis has done it again with a suspenceful tale to keep you riveted to the edge of your seat. Francis, an expert who uses the 'jockey' and racecourse backgrounds to their fullest extent, makes the reader look forward to all his books! A must read and try all of his other titles by Fawcett
