Thirteen racing tales with dangerous hidden stakes
Fair to Good Condition - Jacket is scuffed and creased with small tears and chips. Some foxing on the opening pages, otherwise text is clear and readable.
Dick Francis brings his knowledge of horseracing and his talent for suspense to a collection of thirteen short stories. Across separate plots, the sport's familiar settings become places where ambition, money and personal grievances can take a sinister turn. Murder, deception and unexpected danger intrude on a world in which appearances are unreliable and a seemingly ordinary encounter can lead towards a crime. Each tale offers a different set of characters and a compact puzzle, giving readers the atmosphere of Francis's racing mysteries in shorter form. Field of 13 moves between the excitement associated with the turf and the darker motives operating around it, building suspense through sharp observation, reversals and carefully timed revelations.
