Field of 13 - Softcover

There's a bomb scare at Kingdom Hill racecourse, where failed conman Tricksy Wilcox watches his dreams blown to kingdom come... At Cheltenham's glittering National Hunt Festival, protocol is rocked as a love-struck owner falls madly in love with her jockey ... There is passion - and revenge - at the glorious Kentucky Derby... ...and then ten other tantalizing stories to hold you enthralled from the starting gates to the finish. Award-winning Master of Crime Dick Francis tackles a new distance with thirteen nerve-tingling tales of politics, passion, horses and crime - each one of them tied to a milestone event in the international racing calendar. The result is beyond question.
