Product Description

Review

"Nobody sets up a mystery better than Dick Francis."

Book Description

No jockey likes being labelled a cheat. Least of all by a Stewards` Enquiry. Kelly Hughes career looks doomed. He knows he`s been framed, but finding the reason could prove dangerous. Especially with a killer on his tail...

Hughes` own enquiry uncovers dynamite that could blow the racing world to smithereens. Only a few powerful - and violent - men know the sordid secret. And they`ll go to extraordinary lengths to keep it that way. Murder is just one option...

`Highly ingenious` Times Literary Supplement

`Another winner` Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love rational heroes..., Mar 24 2001
By 
J. Kane "AbleKane" (Balad, Iraq) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enquiry (Paperback)
The primary reason I continue to seek out and read Dick Francis is that he continually creates heroes that are efficacious and rational. He avoids the common pitfalls of most modern writers, and instead invents characters who pass the ultimate test: "Would I like to meet and know this person?" If you can answer "yes" to that question then there is great potential for enjoyment in the fiction centered around that character. If you answer "no" to that question, why even bother reading further?

Dick Francis' characters almost always recieve an unreserved "YES!" Read "Enquiry," it's not the best from Francis but it's still furlongs beyond the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truth Revealed, Dec 16 2000
By 
Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Enquiry (Paperback)
Jockey Kelly Hughes and trainer Dexter Cranfield have their licenses suspended by the Oxford stewards for supposedly throwing a race. Hughes believes that they were framed and he sets out to clear their names and get the licenses restored. Who would want to ruin their careers? As the truth is revealed we hear a story of sexual deviation, blackmail, fixed evidence and attempted murder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good first impression, Dec 14 2000
By 
V. Smith - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Enquiry (Paperback)
This was the first Dick Francis book I have read and I must say that I am impressed! I bought it because I had nothing to read one rainy afternoon and because I am interested in horseracing. I read it in one day. The characters were real and the plot was interesting. If you look at the copy I have you will see all kinds of scribbles in it where I have marked quotes and phrases that I liked. For example, Kelly describes how he feels after his accident as "Not so much as banging the head against a brick wall as being actively attacked by a cliff". Yep, I know that feeling...Francis just said it better than I could have. Just one warning...don't pick up this book unless you can afford to spend the whole afternoon reading it.
