Description
From a New York Times-bestselling "master of crime fiction and equine thrills," a betrayed race horse owner must get back his stolen thoroughbred(Newsday). Dick Francis, Edgar Award-winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing. Steven Scott may have been a successful, wealthy inventor with no experience in horse racing, yet with the inspired guidance of his trainer, Jody Leeds, and the prowess of a beautiful black hurdler named Energise, he has brought home several wins. But his winning streak is about to come to a fast end when he discovers trouble in his own stables: trouble that could bring about his own termination if he doesn't watch his step. Praise for the writing of Dick Francis: "Dick Francis is a wonder." -The Plain Dealer "An imaginative craftsman of high order." -The Sunday Times "Few things are more convincing than Dick Francis at a full gallop." -Chicago Tribune "Few match Francis for dangerous flights of fancy and pure inventive menace." -Boston Herald "[Francis] has the uncanny ability to turn out simply plotted yet charmingly addictive mysteries." -The Wall Street Journal "Francis is a genius." -Los Angeles Times "A rare and magical talent . . . who never writes the same story twice." -The San Diego Union-Tribune
