FINE.* Illustrations: None.* Pages: 273 pp. text.* Description: This first collection of short stories by Dick Francis (author of 10 Lb. Penalty and more than 30 other horse-racing mysteries) pulls together five new tales with eight that have appeared in various periodicals over the last three decades. Included is a 1975 short which foretold the bomb scare which halted the Grand National in 1997 when the race-course had to be evacuated. This is a brilliant collection of thirteen short stories, written by the Master of Crime. Although some of the stories have been published before, all but one of them have had a very limited circulation and the vast majority of Dick Francis fans will be reading them for the first time. One of the pleasures of his stories is witnessing the breadth and variety within Francis's racetrack milieu.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st. with only minimal faults reducing it to VG++.*
