Book Description

Henry Grey was considered hard to get along with. But he knew a change of job was all he needed. No more part-time office work/amateur jockey races for him. So he took a new job, air- transporting racehorses to change his luck and see the world. But he saw something quite unexpected in the cargo hold....
"The best thriller writer going."
ATLANTIC MONTHLY


Ingram

Realizing that his present career as an office worker and part-time jockey will never go anywhere, Henry Grey takes a new job as an air transporter of racehorses, but he soon discovers that there is something other than horses in the cargo hold. Reissue. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Flying Finish (Hardcover)
I loved this book, exciting from beginning to end, and thought the villains were particularly well-done!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good early Francis novel, Sep 4 2001
By Martha E. Nelson (Watertown, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flying Finish (Paperback)
This is a novel about another of Francis' lonely heros, caught between social classes and fairly mysterious to most of those who know him. This one ends up having a fairly riveting story, with genuinely unpleasant villains. as with most of Francis' heros, he is deceptively stubborn and survives hideous experiences to bring things to a safe conclusion. This one, however, leaves some loos ends hanging. We are lefft wondering what will happen to his Italian girlfriend (characteristically, for this hero, they are instantly in love but can't speak the same language, so there is a distance between them, as there is with the rest of the hero's family and acquaintances) and what choices he will make about the rest of his life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Francis at his worst, Oct 8 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Flying Finish (Paperback)
I've read most of Francis' stories and have enjoyed almost all of them. Flying Finish is the exception. All Francis books require the reader to suspend belief. But this one is far-fetched and totally unbelievable. A very disappointing read.
