Bloodline is the new Dick Francis novel from bestseller, Felix Francis.

When Mark Shillingford commentates on a race in which his twin sister Clare, an accomplished and successful jockey, comes in third, he can't help but be suspicious. As a professional race-caller, he knows she should have won. Did she lose on purpose? Was the race fixed? Why on earth would she do something so out of character?

That night, Mark confronts Clare with his suspicions, but she storms off after an explosive argument. It's the last time Mark sees her alive. Hours later, Clare jumps to her death from the balcony of a London hotel . . . or so it seems.

Devastated by her death, and almost overcome with guilt, Mark goes in search of answers. What led Clare to take her own life?

Or was it not suicide at all . . .?

Felix Francis is the younger son of thriller-writing legend, Dick Francis, with whom he co-wrote the four most recent Dick Francis Novels, Dead Heat, Silks, Even Money and Crossfire, with Felix taking an increasingly greater role in the writing. Sadly Dick died in February 2010 but his work will live on through Felix. Gamble was Felix's first solo Dick Francis Novel.

Praise for the Dick Francis novels:
'The Francis flair is clear for all to see' Daily Mail
'The novel confirms Francis's seat at the head of crime fiction' Racing Post
'From winning post to top of the bestseller list, time after time' Sunday Times

Felix trained as a physicist and spent seventeen years teaching A level physics before taking on the role as manager to his father, and then as author. He lives in Oxfordshire.

As usual, good background story.

I think those who have read the Francis family will find this fits the formula pretty well; interesting characters, "love interest",( a twist or two here ), well-concealed but believable villain and satisfying denouement..

An excellent read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2014

Being a fan of Dick Francis for many years I was obviously saddened by his death and thought that this would bring his brilliant books to an end. How wrong was I.
There has been such a seamless transition from master to pupil that it won't be long before the name Dick Francis need not appear on the cover to sell the book.
In the Francis books, either Dick or Felix, we know that we are going to get an exciting read, well researched and well written.
I have read all the DF books several times and I fully expect to do the same with the FF ones as well.
An excellent read and I read the entire book in little over a day

Great read as usual

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2013

As avid readers of first Dick Francis and now his son Felix, my wife and I were delighted with this latest novel Bloodline. Sticking with the same theme as his father is sure to make Felix a well read Author. We have every title the pair of them have produced and they are all read periodically. If you are in the market for this book then it won't disappoint. If you haven't read the Francis novels then you should, your bookshelves will love you for it. 5*****

Another Francis success!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2016

Felix Francis has definitely inherited his father's talent for writing and this novel illustrates that most graphically. Felix is a definite power in his own right using words to their full advantage and impact.
