Summary: One of Francis's earliest, and perhaps his best
Comment: One of Francis's novels from the days when he just wrote great books about people involved in horses. Neal Griffon, who broke with his racing-stable owner father many years previously and made a success of his life, is forced to take over the stable when his father is injured and the business threatened. The threat--a Swiss mobster wants his son, Alessandro, a novice jockey, to ride to success in the biggest race of the year. With that, we watch with fascination as both Neal and Alessandro try to resolve their relationships with their father without blood being spilled. It doesn't help matters that both fathers are among the most indomitable individuals I've ever read of . . . a good read, and with lessons for all of us.

Summary: Two Unhappy Father-Son Relationship
Comment: This is a story of two father-son couples; the hero who is temporary in charge of a training stable and his cold-hearted father, and a spoiled son who wants to be a champion jockey and his fanatic, ruthless father. Their unhappy relationship is lightly and smoothly described in the fast-paced, thrilling story, yet I am strongly impressed by the relationship. Francis is really a good writer. And it is also interesting that a daily life of a training stable is vividly described.

Summary: Political Connection!
Comment: I will not give any of the plot away -- but after you have read this book ask yourself this question: Is there anyone high in the political world who matches the specifics of any major character in this mystery? The question is not sterile.
