Více o knize
Ex-steeplechaser Randall Drew finds himself in pre-Olympic Moscow, reluctantly fulfilling a royal favor. Tasked with addressing safety and scandal concerns surrounding a blue blood athlete, Drew, who speaks no Russian, is meant to locate a contact named Alyosha. Instead, he becomes entangled with the KGB and a terrorist plot, realizing that returning home may not be an option—unless he survives the ordeal. Dick Francis, a champion jockey turned bestselling author, is celebrated for his gripping narratives and meticulous research. His writing captivates readers from the first page to the last, with a brisk pace and engaging plots. Francis, who won over 350 races and was champion jockey in 1953/1954, transitioned to writing after retiring from the saddle. He authored forty-three novels and received numerous accolades, including the Crime Writers' Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger and three Edgar Allan Poe awards. In recognition of his contributions to literature, he was named Grand Master for lifetime achievement and elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Francis passed away in February 2010, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest thriller writers of all time.
