Vintage Dick Francis, so simple yet so complicated

Edward Lincoln is a well paid movie actor who goes to South Africa to find out why the horses of a old and dying friend are not running as well as they should be and learns more than he bargained for.  I don't want to give away the slightest hint as to what this book is about because I don't want to take away any of the joy for first-time readers. All I can say is, "Read it!"
