A solid Dick Francis novel. Not one of my absolute favorites. I don't think that the hero is quite as well developed as some others of DF's heros. Still it had all the elements we're familiar with and look for in one of his novels. (

Another good one, but disappointing because there was no big reveal with the bad guy present at the end! I need closure! (

Not bad, but a good effort. A little slow, for one of his earliest works I have been able to find. Made me want to visit Norway, though... lol. I'm rarely disappointed by the author, so I will read more of his works. (

Cold grey water lapped the flimsy-looking sides of the fibreglass dinghy, and I shivered and thought of the five hundred feet straight sown to the sea-bed underneath.
