Book Description
At twenty to midnight Neil Griffon’s home is broken into and he is roughly abducted by masked men. He has no idea who they are, or what they want. But when Neil wakes up, hours later, he quickly discovers that unless he cooperates his kidnappers will destroy his father’s precious horses, racing stable and ultimately Neil himself. Returned to take charge of the stables, Neil can tell no-one about his ordeal. Vicious threats and horrible violence against his horses become a day-to-day reality and he is forced to comply with his blackmailer’s wishes. Trapped in a war of attrition, Neil realises he must find a way to stop these criminals before his nerve gives out. After all, a choice between his integrity and his life is no choice at all . . .

This book is compelling reading and worth every penny,
This review is from: Bonecrack (Paperback)
Another thriller from this unique crime writer Dick Francis. Bonecrack a story about two fathers, one with lots of money who will move heaven and earth to give what ever his son wants. The other whilst in hospital will not trust his son to run the racing stables he owns.Then one of the fathers tries to take control of both sons.Bonecrack grabs you from page one with mistaken identity and death threats, to the day to day nightmares they face. Just when you can see a glimmer of escape, it brings you back to reality with blackmail and threats to both horses and sons. I could not put this book down, even when it came to cooking dinner for the family I would read in between peeling the potato and scraping the carrots. You must read this book .

This review is from: Bonecrack (Paperback)
Neil Griffon takes over the training of horses at his father's stable after his father is hospitalised with a broken leg. He is visited by vicious sociopathic crime boss Enso Riviera who has only one aim, to make Neil put his son Alessandro the jockey on Archangel the favourite for the Derby, by any means necessary. Griffon's head lad is Etty Craig, great female character. Neil takes on Alessandro and a dangerous game begins, Neil trying to keep his life and his father's stables alive under paternal pressure that he does not know what he's doing.
