Refusal
When Sir Richard Stewart, chair of the horse racing authority, demands ex-investigator Sid Halley examines some suspicious races, he is given a firm no. Sid retired six years ago - and nothing will make him go back. But he's wrong. Next day, Sir Richard is found dead. Then Sid's six-year-old daughter goes missing and he receives an anonymous call.
Refusal is the third Dick Francis novel from Felix Francis, author of the Top 10 bestsellers Bloodline and Gamble.
When Sir Richard Stewart, the racing authority chairman, demands Sid Halley investigate suspicious race results, he receives a firm no. Halley retired years ago, swearing he'd never go back.
But then Sir Richard is found dead and Halley receives a threatening call from a man insisting he investigates the alleged race-fixing. Halley wants to steer clear, but when his young daughter goes missing he realizes he may pay the ultimate price.
With his family in danger, how can Sid refuse? Extreme situations demand extreme solutions, and Sid will do anything to get his life back, or die trying.
