Free choice? There's no such thing, according to Lee Morris. Choice is pre-determined by your traits.
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 to escape 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.
Packed with intrigue and hair-raising suspense, Decider is just one of the many blockbuster thrillers from legendary crime writer Dick Francis.

關於作者
Dick Francis was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys. The winner of over 350 races, he was champion jockey in 1953/1954 and rode for HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, most famously on Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National. On his retirement from the saddle, he published his autobiography, The Sport of Queens, before going on to write forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), and the biography of Lester Piggott.
During his lifetime Dick Francis received many awards, amongst them the prestigious Crime Writers' Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger for his outstanding contribution to the genre, and three 'best novel' Edgar Allan Poe awards from The Mystery Writers of America. In 1996 he was named by them as Grand Master for a lifetime's achievement. In 1998 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of 2000.
Dick Francis died in February 2010, at the age of eighty-nine, but he remains one of the greatest thriller writers of all time.
