The Telegraph is reporting that crime novelist Dick Francis has died. He was 89.
Francis, a former professional jockey, wrote over 40 thrillers set in the world of horse racing, in the process collecting a mantel-full of awards including multiple Daggers from the Crime Writer Assocation and three Edgars plus the title of Grand Master from the Mystery Writers of America.
His last three books were co-written with his son, Felix. Even Money was published last September and their fourth collaboration, Crossfire, will be published this August.
