The privileged world of horse racing, filled with sleek thoroughbreds, burnished leather, and the silken sheen of jockeys’ colors, is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Let bestselling, internationally popular author Dick Francis take you to the immaculate stables of the de Brescou estate, where dark forces are lurking.  

Someone is killing the de Brescou racehorses with a “bolt” gun, shooting them silently, leaving no clues. Before the noble family, which includes his fiancée, is torn apart, jockey Kit Fielding must find the assassin. 

There are higher stakes than the horses, though. The de Brescous could lose control of their family business as well. 

Bolt spent 13 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. From regal countesses to dapper racing officials, it puts you in the company of truly intriguing characters.  

“The plot races along wonderfully well, right up to a jolting twist at the end.”—Publishers Weekly

One of the Kit Fielding books, typical Francis creates a character who is noble and wise, yet so humble. Lots of racing action in this one, and I love that the protagonist is a jockey so you get so much insight. Never a dull moment in this read. One of his best. And Simon Prebble is such a great narrator.

Probably my favorite Dick Francis.

The whole book was great, but the pages where Kit was in the race, astride the horse, were superb. You are in the saddle.
