Book in very good condition - Looks almost unread to me. >>> I love Dick Francis's books. The Sid Halley books are the only series that he wrote. All the rest of his books are stand alone. All of his books involve horses, many of them are set in the racing world...particularly jump races. In this book, someone is cutting off the left front hoof of young horses. The mother of a little girl with cancer hires Sid to find out who is doing it. His relationship with the little girl is really great. Sid was injured in a racing accident and eventually lost his hand. The trauma of that is often part of the story. Francis's characters are always complex and well developed. One of those stories where you feel like you'd like to meet the "hero". (Goodreads)
