Whip Hand follows ex-jockey Sid Halley as he uncovers a chilling conspiracy threatening the sport he loves, while Rat Race chronicles an air taxi pilot drawn into a web of danger surrounding the racing circuit. Forfeit presents a sports journalist battling corruption and personal tragedy, and High Stakes details a wealthy inventor who takes on the ruthless underbelly of the racing establishment after being swindled by his own trainer. Twice Shy rounds out the collection with a taut dual-timeline narrative in which a computer program holding dangerous gambling secrets puts two brothers' lives at risk decades apart. Tightly plotted, morally astute, and written with the authority of a former champion jockey, these five novels illustrate why Francis remains the undisputed king of the racing thriller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887874552027,"sku":"2026200007701-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cd3330f6-e648-4e5a-b388-b1857a434609.png?v=1781747323","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007701-secondhand-whip-hand-rat-race-forfeit-high-stakes-twice-shy","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
