High Stakes

A classic racing mystery from the king of crime

Dick Francis, the bestselling master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.

Steven Scott may have been a successful, wealthy inventor with no experience in horse racing, yet with the inspired guidance of his trainer, Jody Leeds, and the prowess of a beautiful black hurdler named Energise, he has brought home several wins.

But his winning streak is about to come to a fast end when he discovers trouble in his own stables: trouble that could bring about his own termination if he doesn’t watch his step.
