Dick Francis (1920-2010) was a British crime novelist who wrote extensively about horse racing, a milieu he knew well as a champion jockey. After retiring from racing due to injury, he began writing full-time in his mid-forties, and went on to publish over forty bestselling novels. His intricate plots, fast-paced action, and insider knowledge of the racing world earned him widespread acclaim. Francis's works have been praised for their suspense, authenticity, and strong characterization. He received numerous awards, including the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award (three times) and the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière. Francis's novels have been translated into over twenty languages, and have sold over 70 million copies worldwide.
