商品簡介
The autobiography of jockey and bestselling crime writer Dick Francis, now brought up to date by his son Felix Francis.
Dick Francis, now one of the world's outstanding thriller writers, made his first career as a steeplechase jockey after serving in the RAF during the war. The height of his riding achievements was as Champion Jockey; the lowest point was when his mount Devon Loch, owned by the Queen Mother, sprawled just before the winning post in the 1956 Grand National. However, this traumatic event led, a few months later, to Dick being asked to write his autobiography. Having completed The Sport of Queens, Dick decided that the writing game was a good substitute for the racing game.
