Twice Shy

en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 30 sep 2007

Young physicist Jonathan Derry is given some musical tapes by a friend. As it turns out, the tapes hold not popular songs but rather an elaborate computerized horse-betting system that can make the holder a rich man -- or a dead one. High-speed-thriller master Dick Francis weaves a constantly twisting plot, a wicked villain, and nonstop action into an explosive showdown.

Recenzii

A regular winner . . . as smooth, swift and lean as ever
As a jockey, Dick Francis was unbeatable when he got into his stride. The same is true of his crime writing

Notă biografică

Dick Francis (pictured with his son Felix Francis) was born in South Wales in 1920. He was a young rider of distinction winning awards and trophies at horse shows throughout the United Kingdom. At the outbreak of World War II he joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot, flying fighter and bomber aircraft including the Spitfire and Lancaster.
He became one of the most successful postwar steeplechase jockeys, winning more than 350 races and riding for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. After his retirement from the saddle in 1957, he published an autobiography, The Sport of Queens, before going on to write more than forty acclaimed books, including the New York Times bestsellers Even Money and Silks.
A three-time Edgar Award winner, he also received the prestigious Crime Writers’ Association’s Cartier Diamond Dagger, was named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, and was awarded a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 2000. He died in February 2010, at age eighty-nine, and remains among the greatest thriller writers of all time.
