Description

Dick Francis (1920–2010) was one of the most celebrated English crime writers. Over his lifetime, he produced more than 30 bestsellers that won international acclaim. His novels are devoted primarily to the world of racing—Francis knew it firsthand, since he was born into a jockey’s family and himself became a famous jockey. This world is full of adrenaline; real passions run high around magnificent horses and big tote-bets, and there’s plenty for fraudsters to profit from. All of this became the raw material for the exciting 1960s novel "The Favourite," which went on to become a bestseller in many countries around the world.
