  This is a brilliant collection of thirteen short stories, written by the Master of Crime.

Ranging from the National Hunt Festival at Cheltenham to Churchill Downs in America , each of the stories contains an array of five-star Dick Francis characters, a brilliant plot to marvel over and an ingenious sting in the tail to gasp over.
