You can just eat this up! Love the authors view of the culinary arts and use of the expert Gordon Ramsey.. Kara J. Jorges said Familiar & New. Dick Francis is winding down his career and, following in Clive Cussler's footsteps, handing the keyboard over to his son. Since, however, Francis' books are not all part of a series, it seems a bit like an unfair plug for an up and coming writer. For a longtime Francis fan, it was obvious the writing was different. Felix has a decent sense of humor, but his writing lacks some of his father's charm, along w. "Dick Francis Cooks Up Another Fine Mystery" according to Miz Ellen. Dead Heat is about Max Moreton, proprietor of a Newmarket restaurant and a rising regional chef - until a catered dinner poisons most of the guests and leaves Max retching in agony, wondering what has gone wrong.Several aspects mark this fine mystery as vintage Dick Francis: 1) the connection to British horse racing 2) since the hero is not a jockey, the occupation of the protagonist has been carefully rese

Scrambling to meet his next obligation, an exclusive luncheon for forty in the glass-fronted private boxes at the 2,000 Guineas, Max must overcome the previous evening's disaster and provide the new American sponsors of the year's first Classic race with a day to remember. Max Moreton is a rising culinary star, and his Newmarket restaurant, the Hay Net, has brought him great acclaim and a widening circle of admirers. Hard on the heels of the triumph Under Orders comes Dead Heat, set against the backdrop of Britain's famed 2,000 Guineas stakes. But when nearly all the guests who enjoyed one of his meals at a private catered affair fall victim to severe food poisoning, his kitchen is shuttered and his reputation takes a hit. As survivors are rushed to the hospital, he is left to survey the ruins of the grandstand-and of his career. Then a bomb blast rips through the private boxes, killing some of Max's trusted staff and many of the guests. Two close calls are too close for comfort, and Max vows to protect his name, and himself, before it's too late.
