Praise for the Dick Francis novels by Felix Francis
BLOODLINE "Francis knows how to control this wild run of a plot and
also knows how to create a conflicted character in the midst of
crisis. A stunning addition to the family line."--"Booklist"
(starred review) "With "Gamble" in 2011 and now "Bloodline," Felix
Francis shows that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree...the
story unfolds with the suspense and insistent pace readers expect
from their annual Francis fix."--"Washington"" Times" "Francis ably
follows in the footsteps of his father, Dick Francis, with his
second stand-alone set in the English horse racing world... Fans
will have a hard time distinguishing this solid thriller from the
father's work."--"Publishers Weekly" GAMBLE "[Felix] Francis shares
his father's gift for brisk storytelling."--"Publisher's Weekly"
"Fans of Dick Francis' suspense masterpieces should rejoice: Felix
has produced a mystery with a racing setting (the Grand National,
no less); a retired but still yearning ex-jockey as the detective;
and an intriguing mix of racing and other business."--"Booklist"
""Gamble" has all the things that loyal readers have anticipated in
their annual Francis fix: a taut and intelligent story full of
suspense, danger and mystery in spare and fast-moving prose that
keeps readers' attention . . . Francis novels, under new
management, will continue to find themselves at the very top levels
of genre fiction."--"Washington"" Times"
