D.F. has done it again with the story taking place well after Sid's riding career is ended with his hand mutilated and an embarrassment to him. This is a taut, well-plotted novel that's grounded in competence, suspense, and professional details, while being laid-back and pleasant.

The book fairy left a package of books on my doorstep last night. What a wonderful surprise that was! 😊

It's amazing what bodily injury can do for a man. A fall from a racehorse left brilliant jockey Sid Halley dangerously depressed, with a wrecked hand and the need for a new career. It was a bullet wound that helped him find one. Although he'd been with a detective agency since his racing accident, it isn't until some two-bit hoodlum drills a slug into his side that he is sent out on a case of his own. That is where he meets Zanna Martin, a woman who just might make life worth living again. But it is an even-money bet that he will be killed before she has the chance.

This is a very early Dick Francis novel which I had missed, having read most of his for years. It was up to standard, started yesterday and couldn't put it down, so finished today :-)

Release #23 for 2021 ...
