First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Very Good+ to Near Fine- dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is a very slight slant to the spine of the book from being read. The text pages are clean and bright but do have toning due to the acid quality of the paper used. The dust jacket is clean and bright with the exception of a thin band of light yellow discoloration to a two inch thin strip of the bottom rear dust jacket edge. "When Kit Fielding, champion steeplechase jockey, finds that Princess Casilia, his chief patron, is facing serious trouble, he goes unhesitatingly to her aid. Neither realizes that his instinctive support is the first step to a frightening battle involving violent risk, with the honour of the princess's family as the prize and Kit's own destruction as the forfeit." "In 1962, he published his first thriller, Dead Cert, set in the world of racing. Subsequently he regularly produced a novel a year for the next 38 years, missing only 1998 (during which he published a short-story collection). Although all his books were set against a background of horse racing, his male heroes held a variety of jobs including artist (In the Frame and To the Hilt) , investigator for the Jockey Club (The Edge) , pilot (Rat Race and Flying Finish) , wine merchant (Proof) and many others. All the novels are narrated by the hero, who in the course of the story discovers himself to be more resourceful, brave, tricky, than he had thought, and usually finds a certain salvation for himself as well as bestowing it on others. Details of other people's occupations fascinated Francis, and the reader finds himself or herself immersed in the mechanics of such things as photography, accountancy, the gemstone trade, restaurant service on transcontinental trainsbut always in the interests of the plot. Dysfunctional families were a subject which he exploited particularly well (Reflex, a baleful grandmother; Hot Money, a multi-millionaire father and serial ex-husband; Decider, the related co-owners of a racecourse).".
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Name and phone number on front fly, some knucklehead has removed the half-title (which is present) to use as a checklist of Francis titles, thus fair only in fine dustwrapper.
