Product Description
Product Description
Two ruthless men erupt one freezing February night into the orderly life of Neil Griffon, and roughly abduct him. When he is set free within hours, he is the victim of vicious threats, of a weird form of extortion, and of a nerve-wracking war of attrition.
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 . . .

Format: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 .
