Book Review: Smokescreen by Dick Francis


Edward Lincoln is an actor who is thrust into the limelight as a detective when he agrees to travel to South Africa to investigate why someone is tampering with racehorses. Lincoln is targeted as soon as he gets off of the plane. A couple of near accidents give way to less subtle attempts on this life.

He has clearly stumbled upon something that he shouldn't have and he soon becomes embroiled in an adventure movie with Lincoln playing the hero. People obviously want him to stop his investigations but you know he will battle on to the end of the mystery.

Set in South Africa it is a nice change of scene but with the old familiar horse racing world that we know and love Dick Francis for.

Happy New Year 2012 too!!!!

8/10 for me.
