Over de Auteur

Dick Francis was born in Wales on October 31, 1920. Because his father was a professional steeplechase jockey and a stable manager, Francis grew up around horses, and after a stint as a pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II, he became a steeplechase jockey himself, turning professional toon meer in 1948. He was named champion jockey of the 1953-54 racing season by the British National Hunt after winning more than 350 races and was retained as jockey to the queen mother for four seasons. When he retired from racing in 1957 at the age of 36, Francis went to work as a racing correspondent for the Sunday Express, a London paper, where he worked for 16 years. In the early sixties, he decided to combine his love of mysteries with his knowledge of the racing world, and published Dead Cert in 1962. Set mostly in the racing world, he has written more than 40 novels including Forfeit, Blood Sport, Slay-Ride, Odds Against, Flying Finish, Smoke Screen, High Stakes, and Long Shot. He wrote his last four books Dead Heat, Silks, Even Money, and Crossfire with his son Felix Francis. He has received numerous awards including the Silver Dagger award from Britain's Crime Writers Association for For Kicks, the Gold Dagger award for Whip Hand, the Diamond Dagger award in 1990, and three Edgar awards. He died on February 14, 2010 at the age of 89. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Dodelijk web door Dick Francis

Toffe triller. Ofschoon het verhaal zich afspeelt in het milieu van paarden, paardenrennen en jockey's, is "Dodelijk Web" een zeer spannend boek ook als je niet thuis bent in dit specifieke wereldje.

Even later wordt de man vermoord en krijgt Ned Talbot te maken met een serie gevolgen die aan de ene kant te maken met fraude binnen de Engelse paardenwereld en aan de andere kant de ontdekking dat zijn jeugd een farce is geweest en dat hij ook in Australië nog 2 halfzussen heeft.

Gekraakt door Dick Francis

Dick Francis heeft altijd helden met een bijzonderheid, zoals Sid Halley, de ex-jockey met een kunsthand. De dreiging om de andere, goede hand te verliezen, speelt een grote rol in het boek. Dat maakt het verhaal levensecht.
Elke paar jaar heb ik een Dick Francis periode, en herlees ik zijn boeken. Dit staat in mijn top 5 van beste boeken. Jammer dat Dick Francis overleden is.
