Field of 13

Field of 13

by Dick Francis (Author)

Synopsis

There's a bomb scare at Kingdom Hill racecourse, where failed conman Tricksy Wilcox watches his dreams blown to kingdom come...

At Cheltenham's glittering National Hunt Festival, protocol is rocked as a love-struck owner falls madly in love with her jockey ...

There is passion - and revenge - at the glorious Kentucky Derby...

...and then ten other tantalizing stories to hold you enthralled from the starting gates to the finish.

Award-winning Master of Crime Dick Francis tackles a new distance with thirteen nerve-tingling tales of politics, passion, horses and crime - each one of them tied to a milestone event in the international racing calendar.

The result is beyond question.
