Spring Fever

Short story from Field of 13

Welcome to Dick Francis’s turf. In “The Rape of Kingdom Hill”, poorly managed and vulnerable, Kingdom Hill racecourse has all the cast that conman Tricksy Wilcox needs so badly–and he has a perfect plan. But Tricksy isn’t the only one with problems. In “Spring Fever”, Mrs. Angela Hart looks back and realizes the moment she fell in love with her jockey. It was just before the treachery, the accident and the very lucky break. And in “Carrot for a Chestnut”, a foolish young man is the wrong choice for sabotage–but Harvey Buskins bribes him like so many others before. Then everyone must watch the horror that follows.
