Francis writing at his best (Evening Standard)
Dick Francis's beloved Sid Halley is the only character to appear in more than two Francis novels.
Former hotshot jockey Sid Halley landed a position with a detective agency, only to catch a bullet from some penny-ante thug. Now, he has to go up against a field of thoroughbred criminals – and the odds are against him that he'll even survive.
