The listing, SUMMER READING- ***** FRANCIS'S "BLOODLINE" BY FELIX FRANCIS has ended.
When race-caller and television presenter Mark Shillingford calls a race in which his twin sister, Clare, an accomplished and successful jockey, comes in second when she could have won, he believes the worst: that she lost on purpose, that the race was fixed. That night, he confronts Clare with his suspicions, she storms off after an explosive argument - and it's the last time he sees her alive. Hours later, she jumps to her death from the balcony of a London hotel.... or so it seems. Devastated and feeling guilty over her death, Mark goes in search of answers. What led Clare to take her own life? Or was it not suicide at all? As Mark probes deeper into his sister's secrets, he uncovers a trail of blackmail and betrayal surrounding some of the most prominent members of the racing circuit. And when several attempts are made on his life, it is clear that Mark is coming uncomfortably close to discovering a secret that someone would kill to keep hidden. Smoke free home.
