Some edge wear, chipping, creasing and short closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, folds and corners rubbed with small loss, some overall yellowing and time staining, slight lean, slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (25s £1.25), small gift inscriptions to ffep, internally clean and tight, overall a vg copy for its age. 224pp. When Kelly Hughes rides the favourite into second place, he gets penalised. Not only has he lost the race, but also his licence, as the Jockey Club suspends him, believing he threw the race. Only he knows that the problem lay with the horse's performance, not his own. Suspecting he was framed, Kelly sets about finding out how it was done, and then who might have done it. But the closer he gets to the perpetrators, the more danger he finds himself in. Now there's more than his reputation and career at stake. There's also his life. One of jockey and thriller writer Dick Francis' (1920-2010), early racing thrillers. Scarce in this first impression.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Carl Bernard [Dustwrapper design] (illustrator). First Edition. First impression of the true first edition of the author's seventh novel. Dustwrapper design by Carl Bernard. ***Very good in red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine very slightly creased. Internally also very good, with a handwritten gift inscription in ink to the front free endpaper [please see scans]. The book has clean pages and no tears or creases. There is a slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper that has been corner price-clipped. Extremities of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and creased, with very slight loss to the surface colour at the bottom of the spine and corner tips. Very small closed tear and associated crease to the bottom edge of front panel near the spine. Head and tail of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased and rubbed. Rear panel slightly rubbed and discoloured (being a white background). Spine of dustwrapper very slightly faded. Front panel of dustwrapper bright. 204mm x 142mm. 224 pages. ***'To a jockey, losing his licence is the equivalent of being struck off, or disbarred, or cashiered. When steeplechase rider Kelly Hughes lost his licence, his first feelings were of bewilderment and disbelief, for he was not guilty of the charges. Nor, to the best of his belief, was the trainer he had ridden for, who lost his livelihood as well. ***When his first stunned state of shock subsided, Kelly began to wonder why he had been framed, and who had done it, and how it had been achieved. ***The nearer he came to a solution the fiercer grew the retaliation. But Kelly had been left with nothing much to lose - the only serious strategic mistake his enemy had made. ***Significant in the background of the story is the private trial system common among professional organisations. Without any of the safeguards of the law, a professional trial is perilously vulnerable to malice, misrepresentation, intimidation and prejudice--- ***In a racing enquiry the judges are also the prosecutors and the jury, the accused is allowed no legal defendant, the sentences are often of no fixed duration, and there is no appeal.' ***'As Ian Fleming was to espionage, so Dick Francis is to horseracing.' - The Field [Quotes taken from the front and back flaps of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the true first edition, in the original dustwrapper, in nice condition. The earlier Dick Francis novels from the 1960s are becoming hard to find now in decent condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
