Blood Sport by Dick Francis

5.0

---

This story is a bit of a departure from Francis first several books, in that the main character suffers from medical depression, and he battles it throughout the book. The plot is very inventive, and the ending the more realistic in that it is not the fairy tale one you might expect. Reading these books in publication order, I am again struck at Francis' ability to plot and to develop character, both of which were compelling right from his early career.
