Про цю електронну книгу
Set in the cut-throat world of horse racing, Gamble is a heart-pounding thriller packed full of suspense, mystery and intrigue.
Nick Foxton once won the Grand National, but then a terrible accident cut his racing career short.
Years later, he returns to Aintree as a spectator, but once more finds himself the centre of attention.
Minutes before the race starts, his colleague Herb Kovak is shot dead. The gunman vanishes, and the police want answers.
Nick can't think of anyone who would want Herb dead, but when he finds a threatening message crumpled in Herb's coat, he begins to question everything 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.
It looks like he's next in the killers firing line . . .
Praise for the Dick Francis novels:
'The Francis flair is clear for all to see' Daily Mail
'Spare, efficient and unflashy . . . draws you in' Daily Telegraph
'The master of suspense and intrigue' Country Life
'Still the master' Racing Post

Felix Francis studied Physics and Electronics at London University and then embarked upon a seventeen-year career teaching Advanced Level Physics.
Felix Francis is the younger son of crime writer and National Hunt jockey Dick Francis, and over the past forty years Felix assisted Dick with both the research and the writing of many of his novels. Felix's love of racing, writing talent, and knowledge and experience as a physics teacher was invaluable in the father-and-son writing partnership.
Felix has written ten 'Francis' novels, the first, Under Orders, published in 2006. Then followed Dead Heat, Silks, Even Money, Crossfire, Gamble, Bloodline, Refusal, Damage and Felix's tenth novel, Front Runner.
