Good story, interesting people - nice the way he sort of walks on in the middle of the story and even when he's attacked he's not the real focus, just sort of incidental. I don't know why I like that, but I do. (  )jjmcgaffey | Jun 13, 2008 |   sara_k | Sep 19, 2007 | This is one of my favorite books from Dick Francis. John Kendell, out of despiration, takes a job writing a biography for a horse trainer and in the process is involved in a murder investigation. Great read. (  )library_girl27 | Jul 11, 2007 | John Kendall, a writer of survival books, is hired to write a horse trainer's biography, and finds a murderer among his new acquaintances. A very tense and memorable denouement. (  )tripleblessings | Feb 1, 2007 | This was one of my favorites by Francis. I really liked the characters in this one. I was drawn right into the story from the beginning. The ending is a bit untidy, but that's just like life. Not everything is neatly wrapped up in the end.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399135812, Hardcover)"Fast-paced, meticulously plotted...Nobody sets up a mystery better than Dick Francis."SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Travel writer John Kendall didn't think he was doing anything too out of the ordinary when he tramped off to rural England for an interview with a successful race horse trainer. Soon enough, however, Kendall realizes that completing the book will be tricky at best. In fact, the perils described in his survival manuals pale next to the dangers in rural England....
