Summary: 3 Stars
TRIAL RUN by Dick Francis doesn't make it to rave status. Randall Drew accepts an assignment from the Prince to do some undercover investigating for Johnny Farringford. The Prince's brother-in-law wants a world class horse to ride in the Olympics, but circumstances must be checked before the games begin.
Being in Moscow maybe out of Francis natural habitat, but in several places the plotting is contrived and plodding. Combine this with a love affair that doesn't go anywhere and murder left far behind, the Prince's last line, "Johnny grow up!" makes the appeal standard of Francis if it doesn't deliver the satisfaction.
Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.
