THRILLERS THAT RACE FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE . . . ' Felix Francis' novels gallop along splendidly' Jilly Cooper ' From winning post to top of the bestseller lists' Sunday Times Sid Halley is back and he has a new left hand having had a transplant since his last appearance in Refusal. An ex-jockey trainer friend calls him to ask for his help in finding out who has threatened him but Sid has his own problems of a marital nature, and he puts the friend off for a couple of days. However, the very next morning, the friend' s stable yard is torched, horses killed, and then the friend is found dead. The police think it' s suicide but Sid is not convinced. Sid starts to investigate and soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that cuts to the very heart of the integrity of British horse racing. Can Sid get to the bottom of what' s going on before he too becomes a victim, while, at the same time, saving his marriage? Praise for Felix Francis' s novels ' As usual with a Francis, once I opened the book, I didn' t want to put it down. . . Felix' s resolution is darker and more shocking than his father would ever have contemplated, but reflects grittier times and changing tastes in fiction' Country Life ' He has become his own man as a purveyor of murder mysteries' The Racing Post ' The Francis flair is clear for all to see' Daily Mail ' From winning post to top of the bestseller list, time after time' Sunday Times ' The master of suspense and intrigue' Country Life ' A tremendous read' Woman' s Own
