Dick Francis Rides Over the Horizon


Many of us who were fans of Dick Francis and his popular steeplechase racing thrillers were saddened today to learn that he died over the weekend at age 89. With the help of his wife, Mary, he offered us a thriller a year for forty years. Even after Mary's death when he did not think he would write again, he recently brought back Sid Halley, an ex-steeplechase jockey turned detective. Mr. Francis, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
