Publisher Description

When jockey Martin Stukely dies after a fall at Cheltenham, he accidentally embroils his friend Gerard Logan in a perilous search for a stolen videotape. Logan is a glassblower on the verge of widespread acclaim. Long accustomed to the frightful dangers inherent in molten glass and in maintaining a glassmaking furnace at never less than 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, Logan is suddenly faced with terrifying threats to his business, his courage, and his life.

Believing that the missing video holds the key to a priceless treasure, and wrongly convinced that Logan knows where to find it, criminal forces set out to press him for information he doesn't have. To survive, he realizes that he himself must sort out the truth. The final race to the tape throws more hazards in Logan's way than his dead jockey friend could ever have imagined.

Glass shatters. Logan doesn't…but it's a close-run thing.

"I loved this book...glass blowing has always been fascinating to me but hearing the details was very interesting. As ALWAYS the mystery was well written with clues that were not obvious but there! His books are page turners!"

    " I appreciate the horse detective formula Francis has so successfully employed all his career, but this is a feeble example. "

    " I had picked up a DVD collection for a week vacation inspired by the author, Dick Francis. So when I saw a book by this same author, I had to read it. Unfortunately I was dissapointed. Maybe I just couldn't get into it. I didn't feel that the plot was developed well, just a bunch of events written to sound violent. "

    " Although this was good, I think it was the beginning of a slide down in quality on Francis' books. Keep in mind, I've loved his books for 30 years, so this is hard to say. They're still good yarns, though, with characters you can like, but I found this less enthralling than usual. "

    " Interesting to have more about glass blowing than horse racing in this book but still it didn't really set my imagination alight. Back to back with Reginald Hill makes me realise how weak Francis's writing is. I was looking for something unchallenging to read though so I can't really complain! "
