Dick Francis, Forfeit
Jan 18, 2011 Main Library, Conference Room
Reporter James Tyrone becomes suspicious when racing columnist Bert Chekov recommends some “can’t lose” horses – then dies in an “accidental” fall from a window. But even Tyrone’s experience at a London scandal sheet fails to prepare him for what he uncovers when he looks into his colleague’s death. Dick Francis is the only three-time recipient of the Edgar Award for Best Novel. He won one of them for Forfeit in 1970.
