Book Overview

by Felix Francis (Author)

Another great best-selling mystery from the grand master of the genre...

When race caller and television presenter Mark Shillingford calls a race in which his twin sister, Clare, an accomplished and successful jockey, comes in second when she could have won, he believes the worst: that she lost on purpose, and the race was fixed. That night, Mark confronts Clare with his suspicions, she storms off after an argument - and it's the last time Mark sees her alive. Hours later, Clare jumps to her death from the balcony of a London hotel...or so it seems.

Devastated and guilty over her death, Mark goes in search of answers. What had led Clare to take her own life? Or was it not suicide at all?

About Felix Francis

A New York Times, London Sunday Times, and international bestseller, acclaimed author Felix Francis was born in Oxford, England, son of the famous mystery author Dick Francis and his wife, Mary Francis. Felix graduated from London University with a degree in physics and electronics. His initial career led him into education, where he was a successful teacher of Advanced Level Physics. Next, he joined the world of big business as a director and deputy of an international overseas expedition company. But he could not deny that his family's gift of writing had been passed along to him, and he started his third career--as an author--where he found his knowledge of physics and the wider world was a great advantage. His many other accomplishments include being an expert outdoorsman, marksman, and pilot. Felix Francis resides in England with his wife, Debbie, and their two dogs, who are the ones really in charge.
