Dick Francis became an international bestselling writer in a publishing career that spanned five decades.
There was a new book every year in time for Christmas. All were bestsellers.
After Dick's beloved wife Mary died in 2000, there was a hiatus, but not for long. Son Felix joined the family business.
Since his father's death, Felix has taken up the Francis mantle and published 11 novels. The latest is Hands Down.
Former British jump racing champion and private detective Sid Halley's wife has decided she needs some time out to think about the future and Sid is devastated. Then ex-jockey trainer Gary calls to ask for his help - he is being threatened and needs a friend he can trust. Next morning, Gary's stable yard is torched, horses killed, and Gary has disappeared.
Sid soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that cuts to the very heart of the integrity of British horse racing.
We have two copies of the novel Hands Down to give away.
