Geoffrey Mason wasn't terribly disappointed when his client Julian Trent was found guilty.

Despite being paid handsomely as Trent's defence counsel, he believes Trent needs to be locked up for a good long time. He only wishes it had happened more quickly - if the trial had ended just a bit earlier, Mason could have made it to the Foxhunter Steeplechase and fulfilled his long-time dream as an amateur jockey.

But not long afterward, Trent is set free when witnesses and jurors start recanting - under intimidation, Mason suspects. Remembering Trent's threats at the time of his conviction, Mason starts to worry.

And things only get worse when one of Mason's fellow jockeys is found dead . . .

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