When amateur jockey Lord Henry Grey decides on a whim to join the bloodstock market, transporting racehorses around the world, he's sure he's hit the good life.

That is, until a horse unexpectedly dies in transit and a colleague vanishes.

And when Grey discovers that both his predecessors also went missing in curious circumstances, he begins to doubt the wisdom of his career change.

Now he must turn detective, or else his own disappearance could be next . . .

Packed with intrigue and hair-raising suspense, Flying Finish is just one of the many blockbuster thrillers from legendary crime writer Dick Francis.
