Book Description
Violence suddenly takes the lead in the life of Neil Griffon. First his father, a stable owner, suffers a grisly accident, then Neil is brutally assaulted and abducted. The price for his freedom will mean the betrayal and deception of those who trust Griffon most. But he has no choice: A no-compromise crime czar has made an ultimatum--that his own eighteen-year old son be hired by Griffon's stables to ride the superstar horse, Archangel, in the Derby. And the young man must be trained to win. Or else....

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
