Product Description

Product Description

No jockey likes being labelled a cheat. Least of all by a Stewards' Enquiry. Kelly Hughes career looks doomed. He knows he's been framed, but finding the reason could prove dangerous. Especially with a killer on his tail...

Hughes' own enquiry uncovers dynamite that could blow the racing world to smithereens. Only a few powerful - and violent - men know the sordid secret. And they'll go to extraordinary lengths to keep it that way. Murder is just one option...

'Highly ingenious' Times Literary Supplement

'Another winner' Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch thriller, 29 April 2009
By Dr. H. Beentje (Kew, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Enquiry (first published 1969)
Excellent - a real cracker of a story, fast-paced and extremely well written, about a jockey being 'warned off' for cheating at a race (I am not spoiling the story - this is all on page one!). He knows he didn't do it - and intends to find out who is behind the false accusations. Francis has you vehemently on the jockey's side, raging against the injustice, the being sneered at, the taunts. And somehow he gets you slowly falling in love, along with the jockey falling in love, as well.
The characters are well fleshed out, the dialogue is believable, the research is impeccable.

Dick Francis writes so well that there does not seem to be a superfluous word in the book. A taut story, crafted by a master, and another absolute smasher!
