Book Description

Publication Date: May 25, 2000 | Series: Dick Francis Library

Free choice? There's no such thing, according to Lee Morris. Choice is pre-ordained by your personality. Stratton Park racecourse faces ruin in the hands of a squabbling family. Lee is slowly sucked into the turmoil, unwillingly on the surface but half-understanding the deep compulsions that influence his decisions. One road leads to safety, another to death. How do you know which is which? Lee's choices and their consequences bring deadly results, but the road out of the quicksand is there, if he can find it. Horses and racing are familiar ingredients, but this time there are also children, houses, roots and decisions. Danger? Naturally. Stratton Park racecourse is worth multi-millions, and all of the Stratton family are playing to win.

This review is from: Decider (Dick Francis Library) (Hardcover)

This is the first Dick Francis I've read in about 15 years, having started nearly 40 years ago. This one is well up to par and is as gripping and well researched as all the others.
