Product Details

Product Description

Ingram

After bidding on and purchasing a horse for a wealthy American woman, ex-jockey Jonah Dereham finds that his client is not the only person who desires the animal. Reprint.


From the Publisher

Dick Francis, a former jockey, brings his experience of racing and life around the racetrack to his mysteries. (And so far Francis is a three-time winner of the Edgar Award for writing the best mystery of the year.) This horse racing background is appealing to my market area of Southern California. Racing is a popular sport amongst Southlanders.

--Nanci Andersen, Ballantine Sales

2.0 out of 5 stars My last Francis, Jun 18 2001
By A Customer
Knockdown I found to inspire me to no longer read Dick Francis. He writes thrillers, not mysteries--lots of action with a predictable and hackneyed plot but no interesting sleuthing to at least spice it up as in an Agatha Christie. This book has some interesting sections on the "behind-the-scenes" world of purchasing horses and kickbacks. However, these bits of interest are outweighed by the silliness of the "tragic hero" with regards to both the love affair and Crispin.

If you like thrillers I guess it'll do but if you're looking for a mystery it's a poor choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars A jolly good read for an idle afternoon or a cold night., May 16 1997
By A Customer
This is one of his better books.I have always enjoyed his restrained way of writing.the different thing about his writing,that not only is his storyline strong, but that his characters are so well fleshed out. nowadays when reading a book so often is an adventure into strange exploits of the main characters,that its good to know someone can get his point across without resorting to cheap thrills.
