Wow, this is one of Francis's best that I've ever read. It's about an down-on-his-luck author who agrees to do an autobiography for a famous horse trainer and gets sucked into his world, where people are getting killed and there's a lot of danger. I just loved every minute of it and was sad when it ended. This protagonist turns out to be the hero and wins the admiration of all those around him.
