Steven Scott is relatively new to horses. A successful, wealthy inventor, he takes up horse racing as a hobby - a hobby that soon brings him winner after winner under the inspired guidance of his trainer, Jody Leeds. Currently both their reputations are wrapped up in a beautiful black hurdler named Energise. But just when Steven is winning at both women and horses, he discovers deceit in his own stables. Termination of the troublemaker marks Steven for his own termination - and much sooner than he can imagine...©1975 by Dick Frances (P)1995 by Blackstone Audiobooks Europa Gran Bretaña Suspenso Thriller y Suspenso Emocionante Deportes Ficción

High Stakes differs from Francis’s typical fare. Here we know the villain all along. His protagonist is interesting and Francis’s gift for a well-turned phrase makes me smile a second time through.

Francis has a gift.

outside of doing lottery, and playing numbers a lot of young people cannot relate to the live action of horse racing, and dog racing. so for historical factors, this is a really great storyline and valuable. I really appreciate it the narration by Geoffrey Howard.

a good story for back in the day

The characters were well-rounded and believable. In another story they would come to life again ready to join into more intriguing story.

The story intermingled with horses and toys.

One of the shorter inches and the Dick Francis cannon, this particular mystery/thriller catch has plenty of twists and high stakes actions.

Taut with brilliant thrills

Though this is not my favorite Dick Francis novel, it was a rather different approach focusing on a horse owner rather than jockey, but it allowed for an intriguing look into owners/trainers and stable practices. Plot didn't really get going until quite a ways along, but when it did, I was holding my breath till the end!

Slow race at start roars to exciting finish

Love the mystery, the turns and twists, the romance and, above all, love the horses!

Classic Dick Francis
