The Edge
By:
- Synopsis
- The Great Transcontinental Mystery Race is not only a glittering rail junket that promises the opportunity to race a thoroughbred on some of the world's great courses, but is something more: an intriguing mystery will be enacted on board, which passengers will be invited to solve. But included on the guest list is one Julius Apollo Filmer, justifiably reputed to be the most ruthless operator lurking in the racing underworld, and he's planning a strange plot of his own. For Tor Kelsey, undercover security agent for the British Jockey Club, a scenario of imaginary mayhem is about to explode into a nightmare of real and bloody murder.

This is my favorite Dick Francis mystery novel. If you've never read any of this author's books, start here. It's exciting, has characters who are likeable people, and has a plot that seems like fun... as long as you're not the person in trouble. Mr. Francis writes mysteries that usually have something to do with horse racing or shows, and this one is no exception. Yet this book has an unique setting with descriptions so vivid that I can see every detail and can almost hear every cheer. I've read this book three times and may do it again soon just because I like the characters so much.
