    About this series

    The privileged world of horse racing, filled with sleek thoroughbreds, burnished
    leather, and the silken sheen of jockeys’ colors, is a wonderful place to spend a
    few hours. Let bestselling, internationally popular author Dick Francis take you to
    the immaculate stables of the de Brescou estate, where dark forces are lurking.
    Someone is killing the de Brescou racehorses with a “bolt” gun, shooting them
    silently, leaving no clues. Before the noble family, which includes his fiancée, is
    torn apart, jockey Kit Fielding must find the assassin. There are higher stakes than
    the horses, though. The de Brescous could lose control of their family business as
    well.
    Bolt spent 13 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. From regal countesses
    to dapper racing officials, it puts you in the company of truly intriguing characters.
    “The plot races along wonderfully well, right up to a jolting twist at the end.”—
