Silks |
The latest from the Francis stable, and though perhaps not quite up to the standard of such vintage titles as "For Kicks", "Risk" or the Sid Halley thrillers, it is not a bad addition. There is the link to racing - the hero, a barrister, is also an amateur jump jockey - there is a nasty villain and an ingenious scam. There are satisfying details and a suitably violent climax.. A good armchair read.
