A must read if you are a Dick Francis fan.
Dick Frances writes great mysteries. I especially like the background insight into the world of horse racing. Language is clean & the story is not muddied up with an excess of sex or graphic violence. The title Bolt has nothing to do with how a horse runs. You'll have to read it & find out.
Dick Francis, horse racing and mystery...doesn't get any better.
