Synopsis

Dick Francis has been thrilling readers for over thirty years with his stories involving the world of racing with plenty of action, suspense, greed and secrets.

SLAY-RIDE: David Cleveland has gone to Norway on a straight forward looking case. A English jockey has gone missing; and so have the racecourse takings. But a simple case goes awry when a dead body turns up...unannounced.

BANKER: Tim Ekaterin`s merchant bank is about to invest in £5 million of prime horseflesh - a stallion called Sandcastle. Top breeders reckon it`s the safest bet in racing...but is it?

PROOF: Wine merchant, Tony Beach, witnesses a tragic accident when a runaway horsebox ploughs into a marquee celebrating the racing season. But when called in to advise on sub-standard alcohol in a local nightlcub, connections start to click...
