Description
"The thrills, the terror, come on a mile-a-minute. . . . A particularly ingenious . . . novel of suspense" from a New York Times-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly). Dick Francis, Edgar Award-winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing. When he wakes in a pitch black room with his hands bound, Roland Britten, accountant and champion steeplechase jockey, knows he's entered a nightmare of someone else's making. Wracking his brain to figure out who is out to get him and why, he comes up empty, but somehow manages a death defying escape. It isn't long though before he's recaptured. Now, with his life at stake, he must take every risk to outsmart his well disguised enemy and save himself. Praise for the writing of Dick Francis: "Dick Francis is a wonder." -The Plain Dealer "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 "[The] master of crime fiction and equine thrills." -Newsday "[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 "Nobody executes the whodunit formula better." -Chicago Sun-Times "A rare and magical talent . . . who never writes the same story twice." -The San Diego Union-Tribune
