Product Description

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....
"Few things are more convincing than Dick Francis at a full gallop."
CHICAGO TRIBUNE

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Unhappy Father-Son Relationship, Nov 5 2001

By	APRICOT "ryoko" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Political Connection!, Jul 8 1999

By	Harold Cohen (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

Dick Francis is a formula writer of the highest callibre. His heros are believable and always slightly flawed. The love interest is never over done. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars One of his earlier books-very good, but he does better.
His book is technically very good. Horse lovers easily recognise that he knows his subject well. As always, he has a good plot that is not easy to predict. Read more
