"Under Orders" by Dick Francis

"Under Orders" by Dick Francis

This is fourth Sid Halley's book.

"Halley's quest for answers draws him even deeper into the darker side of the race game, in a life-or-death power play that will push him to his very limits-both professionally and personally."

I admire Francis's books. I've read practically all of them. However, it seams to me he begins repeating himself. His last tree or four books were not so sparkling as before. But he is still very very good with words.
