Dick Francis' thrilling whodunit The Price of Blood
Gene Hawkins comes into contact with crime every day, but he is not afraid. Since he lost his beloved wife, life has lost its meaning for him and he avoids death only to fulfil his professional duties. Partly to escape the depression, he is assigned to a new investigation - his supervisor's American friend's second rare stud has disappeared without a trace. The search for the horse, which at first seemed more like a special holiday in the USA, quickly becomes a case that requires full commitment - and in the process Gene learns the value of life.
