Synopsis CROSSFIRE is the last book that mystery guru Dick Francis completed before his death in 2010. Written with his son, Felix, this is a great example of Francis's stellar plotting, with Felix's knack for factual detail adding to the story. Captain Tom Forsyth reluctantly returns home after being injured in Afghanistan. His mother is one of Britain's top trainers of race horses, and someone is trying to blackmail her, forcing her to make sure her horses lose in races. Taken aback by these and other family secrets, Tom decides to take matters into his own hands, only to face off with some seriously dangerous individuals.

An exhilarating new novel from the New York Times-bestselling authors.
Industry Reviews "CROSSFIRE, the final novel Dick Francis was involved with writing, lives up to the high standards the author set and maintained....Like the best of mystery/thriller/detective stories, these novels are morality plays. The racing world, which considering the money involved at all levels can be a petri dish for corruption, is just the rich backdrop for the good-versus-evil struggle." (08/20/2010)
"[A] suspenseful read. Francis aficionados will hope that Felix chooses to carry on the family tradition on his own." (07/05/2010)
