About this product

Product Information

Felix Francis continues his father's New York Times - bestselling legacy with another edge-of-your-seat read that's classic Francis. Nicholas "Foxy" Foxton, a former jockey who suffered a career- ending injury, is out for a day at the Grand National races when his friend and coworker Herb Kovak is murdered, execution style, right in front of him-and 60,000 other potential witnesses. Foxton and Kovak were both independent financial advisers at Lyall & Black, a firm specializing in extreme-risk investments. As he struggles to come to terms with Kovak's seemingly inexplicable death, Foxton begins to question everything, from how well he knew his friend to how much he understands about his employer. Was Kovak's murder a case of mistaken identity...or something more sinister?

  • Fun and engrossing read!

    The racing world and investing in the stock market and murder - all at close range - make for good reading. Felix Francis does a good job of continuing his father Dick Francis's world of racing.

  • Not as good as his father's books

    I have ALL of the books written by Dick Francis over the decades, and this book by his son is definitely not as good as many of them, but it is readable, and rates just below average, if you are taking the entire body of work into consideration. It is worth buying the book used on ebay, but I definitely would not pay full price in a bookstore. So sorry that his father is no longer alive and writing. Dick Francis is one of my all time favorite authors. Guess it is time to re-read all his books again this winter.

  • Felix and Dad Ride Again

    Not as good as when Father was writing with his wife Mary but Felix is getting better with every book. This one borrows from some of the previous books for plot techniques, but is still quite readable.
