Product Description

Only when it’s too late does Mike Powell realise that he’s wasted his talents as a jockey and spoilt his marriage. His riding career is in decline; his beautiful wife, Tessa, has left him.

When his old friend Jed Harvard discovers that Mike’s estate has been left to an American called George Parker - a man he’s never heard of before - his suspicions are aroused. While tracking down George, Jed discovers that Mike’s business deals have left a number of bitter enemies, and he realises that all is not what it seems... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Safe Bet - John Francome, 14 Dec 2009
This review is from: Safe Bet (Paperback)
Another cracker from the man who has taken his skills from the saddle straight to his writing desk. Carrying on the excellent suspenseful Dick Francis style with that authentic horse-racing world feel running throughout.
