A great novel by a great author. It starts with a kidnapping, not of a horse but of a jockey. A beautiful Italian girl daughter of a wealthy father. Covered by an insurance company that covers people at risk (there are such companies) the story follows the rescue.

Another good Dick Francis. A little far-fetched and the hero is always beaten-down, but alway arises and triumphs.

When Dick Francis was alive, I knew that with every book i was practically guaranteed to find a superbly calm and confident hero who was nonetheless an ordinary guy. Usually there'd be a potential love interest with a smart woman, sometimes it would work out but sometimes not. THE DANGER is one of my favorites. I liked the idea of Liberty Market, and I wonder what it was about Andrew that the other partners, almost all ex-military, saw when they invited him in. i liked the shift from Itlay to Great Britain to America, and of course it all comes out right in the end.
