Dead Cert (Francis Dick); Penguin, 2013

'Admiral met the fence perfectly. He rose to it as if flight were not only for birds. And he fell . . .'

Alan York's friend, jockey Bill Davidson, was killed in Admiral's fall. After the race, York visits the fence and discovers a coil of wire lying beside the fence post and signs of where the wire had been attached.

The fall was no accident - but murder. Unable to convince the police of this, York is forced to turn amateur sleuth and is soon on the trail of a ruthless gang of race-fixers operating out of Brighton.

Now Alan's caught in a new race: find the gang's leaders before the gang catches up with him . . .

Packed with intrigue and hair-raising suspense, Dead Cert is just one of the many blockbuster thrillers from legendary crime writer Dick Francis.
