For the first time in his legendary career, Dick Francis moves away from the long-form novel to deliver thirteen high-stakes short stories. Each tale is a masterclass in suspense, set against the familiar, thrilling backdrop of the racing world.
From the nerve-wracking minutes before a starter’s pistol to the quiet, dangerous deals made in the stables after dark, Field of 13 showcases Francis’s ability to build a complete world of intrigue in just a few dozen pages. Whether it's a jockey facing a moral crossroads or an owner caught in a web of deceit, these stories prove that whether the race is long or short, the danger is always real.
