Description
According to Time Magazine, Dick Francis “belongs in the company of writers like John Buchan… a positive genius.” Dick Francis enjoyed the unique position of being a steeplechase jockey and crime fiction writer, churning out 44 thrillers in between jumping over fences on horseback. This one, published in 1972, concerns a famous actor tasked with investigating a string of failed racehorses at a stable in South Africa, forcing him to adopt a ‘smokescreen’ to try and hide his prominent identity. This is the 1973 Book Club Associates edition in mint condition.
