I have all Dick Francis' books. I would have said I remember them all pretty well. But the other day I was looking for something non-series and I spotted this one. Hmmm, I thought, I know I've read it because it's there on my shelf, but I don't remember it. So I pulled it out. I did not remember a word of this book, probably for good reason. Hero Perry Stuart is practically a cardboard cutout of a Dick Francis hero, there's barely a connection to horse-racing, and the plot is convoluted and confusing. There are villains smuggling nuclear material, and something about cows whose milk doesn't need high heat for pasteurization. Except for the crash scene, the meticulous research about weather and hurricanes comes across as boring, which is really too bad. But hey, there are cows...even if that felt like it really didn't belong in the same story...but who doesn't like cows?
