Over a 40-year span, Dick Francis built a reputation for crafting gripping mysteries set amidst the complex world of horseracing. His legacy continues under the masterful pen of his son, Felix. In
Bloodline, race caller and TV personality Mark Shillingford confronts his twin sister Clare, a professional jockey, about whether or not she threw a race-and that is the last time he sees her alive.
As Mark investigates her apparent suicide, he begins to suspect murder, and soon dark forces gather to thwart his efforts to find the truth.

Editorial Reviews
“Francis knows how to control this wild run of a plot and also knows how to create a conflicted character in the midst of crisis. A stunning addition to the family line.” —Booklist (starred review)
“The usual pleasures of Francis father and son, from inside dope about announcing races to carefully controlled bursts of physical violence, fly by with all the speed of a promising filly on her second one-mile run.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Fans will have a hard time distinguishing this solid thriller from the father’s work.” —Publishers Weekly
