Book Reviews of Forfeit
Book Review: "Don't sell your soul!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many Dick Francis heroes, James Tyrone gets caught up quite by chance in a life-threatening drama. Ty is a sportswriter for a sensational newspaper. While researching a freelance magazine feature on the Lamplighter Gold Cup, he discovers that all the horses a certain veteran journalist has advised people to bet on have turned out to be nonstarters.
In a drunken stupor, this fellow journalist advises Ty not to sell his soul, or his column - and minutes later falls out a window to his death.
Ty feels compelled to investigate further, with the whole-hearted backing of his scandal-loving paper. This involves him in dangerous situations with some very bad guys.
There's always a compelling personal story intertwined with the thriller content of a Francis novel. In Forfeit, James Tyrone's wife Elizabeth is paralyzed and on a respirator for life, having contracted polio just three years into their marriage. He's emotionally committed to her - but sexual fidelity is a challenge.
My enthusiasm for a good Dick Frances novel is boundless (despite my total lack of interest in real life horseracing and betting). This is an especially good one.
