Publisher Description
Set in the cut-throat world of horse racing, Gamble is a heart-pounding thriller packed full of suspense, mystery and intrigue.
Nick Foxton once won the Grand National, but then a terrible accident cut his racing career short.
Years later, he returns to Aintree as a spectator, but once more finds himself the centre of attention.
Minutes before the race starts, his colleague Herb Kovak is shot dead. The gunman vanishes, and the police want answers.
Nick can't think of anyone who would want Herb dead, but when he finds a threatening message crumpled in Herb's coat, he begins to question everything he knows about his friend.
And on learning that he is the benefactor of Herb's will, Nick is certain that something is not right.
It looks like he's next in the killers firing line . . .

Customer Reviews
Not a bad read
A few twists and turns to make it interesting
Thrilling
Fast paced , thrilling drama set in the world of finance and of course horse racing
A good book, definitely recommend this one
Having been disappointed with Crossfire I was wondering whether to persevere with Felix Francis but I am glad that I did. This story has a nice fast-paced finish and some humorous moments that put me in mind of some of Dick Francis' older books. If Felix continues to improve at this rate, we can look forward to some really good books in the coming years.
