Silks Francis, Felix

**Silks** gallops straight into the dark underbelly of horse racing, where jockeys risk everything for glory and someone's willing to kill for it. Francis delivers a cracking thriller that'll have you questioning every photo finish you've ever watched. When amateur jockey Gerard Logan gets tangled up in race-fixing scandals and murder plots, the only thing more dangerous than the horses might be the humans riding them.

This **crime fiction** gem explores corruption, ambition, and survival in the supposedly genteel world of equestrian sport. Perfect for **mystery lovers**, racing fans, or anyone who enjoys their protagonists with actual backbone and their plots twistier than a steeplechase course.

Dick Francis practically invented the racing thriller genre, turning his own jockey experience into literary gold that spawned countless imitators but few equals.

This **preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks** has been loved but not beaten up—much like Logan himself.

*"Absolutely gripping from start to finish. Francis knows how to blend authentic racing detail with proper edge-of-your-seat suspense."*

*"Finally, a thriller protagonist who actually thinks before acting. Refreshing and addictive."*
