DescriptionWhat is the connection between a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player? To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a houseparty gathers at Gull's Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. It's all part of a carefully paid plan for murder.
DescriptionA British jockey, riding in Norway, has disappeared, and with him has gone a day's takings from the turnstiles of Oslo racecourse. The Norwegian police have found no trace of him, nor have the British, and the case is being filed as just one more unsolved theft.

DescriptionAlexander Kinloch, artist, has worked out a good pattern for his life. His home is a small bothy on a remote mountain in Scotland; he paints on commission, from which he derives both pleasure and a decent income; he lives alone and likes it. One day, however, Alexander's peace is violently shattered when he returns home to find a group of strangers waiting for him. Afer a scuffle, he is left for dead with only the wind and the words "Where is it?" ringing in his ears. And the days that follow contain more danger than he could ever have imagined.
DescriptionThe house was stripped bare of all its treasures: bare floors, bare walls, and bare shelves. Gone was the furniture and the family silver, gone the paintings and the antique china. And if it was a shock for Charles Todd, painter of horses, how much more harrowing the trauma for his cousin Donald, whose house it was and whose young wife Regina lay on the sitting room floor, bloody and dead. A coincidental meeting with a middle-aged widow who has also lost all her worldly good sends Charles off to Australia, on the trail of a gang with a fruitful business in the forged work of artists like Munnings and Stubbs. In a world of high stakes and tremendous risks, where villains will stop at nothing to achieve their ends, Dick Francis weaves his compelling narratives with the control of a master craftsman.
