Book description
Gamble is the latest Dick Francis novel and the first solo
novel by Felix Francis.
Nick Foxton once won the Grand National, but a terrible
accident cut his racing career short. Years later, he is returning to
Aintree - as a spectator - when he once more finds himself the centre
of attention.
Minutes before the big race, Nick's colleague, financial adviser
Herb Kovak, is shot dead and the gunman vanishes into the crowd. The
police want answers but Nick can't explain why anyone would want Herb dead.
Yet when he finds a threatening message crumpled in Herb's coat,
Nick begins questioning all he knows about his friend. And on learning
that he is the benefactor of Herb's will, Nick is certain that
something is not right.
A fact confirmed when Nick discovers he's next in the killer's
firing line.
From Felix Francis, the bestselling co-author (with Dick Francis) of
Dead Heat and Even Money comes Gamble, the

racing, Gamble is an enthralling thriller packed full of
suspense, mystery and intrigue. Packed with all the hair-raising
suspense and excitement readers know and love from Dick Francis,
