Dick Francis Mysteries

Saddle up for three full-length films based on runaway best-selling books by Britain?s famous jockey-turned mystery writer. In Twice Shy, a computer whiz lies dead?his body smashed at the bottom of a rock cliff. It looks like an accident, but Jockey Club Investigator David Cleveland (Ian McShane) isn?t so sure. In the Frame keeps you guessing about a painting: It?s the only clue to a murder, but is it also a forgery? And in Blood Sport, the search for a missing multi-million-dollar stallion takes Cleveland on a race for his life.

Before he became a writer, Dick Francis?aka Sir Richard Stanley Francis?was a champion steeplechase jockey. He won more than 350 steeplechase races, including many for Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
