Dick Francis masterfully combines the emotional turmoil of betrayal with the suspense of uncovering the truth, all set against the captivating backdrop of the racing world. Sid Halley's moral quandaries and the high stakes make it a gripping page-turner.

Description

Sid Halley, the ex-champion jockey turned investigator who appears in Odds Against and Whip Hand, is back. In Come to Grief he faces new dangers and deeply demanding decisions. Sid has uncovered an obnoxious crime committed by a friend whom he—and everyone else—has held in deep affection. On the morning set for the opening of the friend’s trial, at which Sid is due to be called as a witness, other people’s miseries explode and send him spinning into days of hard rational detection and heart-searching torment. Troubled, courageous, and unwilling to admit defeat, for Sid Halley it is business as usual.
