But who is he? Where does he come from? He had no form of identification on him, and no one claims the body. Doctor Chris Reynolds, a specialist who … Chris Reynolds, a specialist who treated the deceased—and who struggles with mental health issues—is intrigued by the nameless dead man, obsessed even, and starts asking questions. However, someone doesn’t want the questions answered and will go to any lengths to prevent it, including an attempted murder.

Good
Enjoyed it
Started off more focused on psychological issues but ended with great detail about the medical side of racing, mixed with som nefarious characters. Good twisted plot.
Not as good as his dad’s books, but ok.
Great story ! I enjoyed this book by Felix Frances as much as the Dick Frances books.
Was expecting a Dick Francis type book. Not similar at all except that things happened at a race course. Very disappointed.
Felix Francis is the son of mystery writer Dick Francis and proves the tree doesn’t grow far from the fruit (as Robert B. Parker once wrote). An exciting mystery well-grounded in the steeplechase racing world and the world of emergency medicine. It keeps you guessing right up until the final reveal.
This is typical Felix authorship. He is his own man/author and puts out a great book/plot/story. I look forward to reading his “next book” with great antisipation.
