What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

With the publisher's original unclipped dustwrapper. 

This novel sits well in Francis' canon of crime in the British horse racing world. The protagonist is an amateur jockey and pilot named Henry Grey.  Grey quits his job and starts work for a firm that transports racehorses by air worldwide. 

Dick Francis wrote about what he knew. Prior to his career as an author he was a steeplechase jockey and became a champion jockey of the British National Hunt.

A fine example of this work.
