A new Dick Francis novel!!

Dick Francis' hero can always get himself out of some impossible situations, and this novel is no exception. A very entertaining story of a young man who, after losing his foot in the war in Afghanistan, goes 'home' to his mother's house and horse training business, and there becomes involved in a dangerous investigation into blackmail. Just imagine waking up chained to a ring on a wall in a deserted stable, with your foot missing, all doors barred on the outside, and noone missing you or looking for you! This book was my requested Christmas present and I wasn't disappointed! It's a great pity Dick Francis won't be writing any more novels - maybe my collection will become very popular.
