<b>Praise for <i>Triple Crown</i></b> Felix has proven a champion storyteller. . . . <i>Triple Crown</i> is an engaging thriller that bursts out of the gate and maintains a good place throughout. Francis pulls back the curtain on American horse racing, giving readers what goes into getting a thoroughbred ready for the starting gate, as well as the stark differences between racing, and law enforcement, on either side of the Atlantic. <i>Mystery Scene</i> Felix Francis continues the run of his Dick Francis novels (after his father) with this sixth solo racetrack mystery, and it s another well-crafted nail-biter Felix Francis has his father s gift for deft plotting and for creating memorable characters, but his prose is much more expansive As in all novels in the Francis line, readers will learn a great deal about horses, racetracks, and, here, the tough life of grooms. The action builds to a hold-your-breath climax and brilliant resolution. Another winner in the Francis stable. <i>Booklist</i> <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
