In the tradition of Clive Cussler and James Lee Burke, Iced, the
latest in Francis's fictional world, is a heart-pounding thriller that
will keep you racing to the next page.
Seven years ago, Miles Pussett was a steeplechase jockey, loving the
rush of the race. But after an unfortunate event, he left horseracing
behind and swore he would never return. Now he gets his adrenaline rush
from riding headfirst down the Cresta Run, a three-quarter-mile Swiss
ice chute, reaching speeds of up to eighty miles per hour.
Finding himself in St Moritz during the same weekend as White Turf, when
high-class horseracing takes place on the frozen lake, he gets talked
into helping out with the horses. Against his better judgement, he
decides to assist, but things aren't as innocent as they seemed.
When he discovers something suspicious is going on in the races,
something that may have a profound impact on his future, Miles begins a
search for answers. But someone is adamant about stopping him--and
they'll go to any length to do it.
