The author today is Dick Francis. I love mysteries and he is one of my favorite authors of mysteries. His characters are always to laid back and he does’t used profanity in his writings.
I have two Reader’s Digest Condensed Books. I keep them because they both have books by Dick Francis. One is Volume 2, 1992. It contains Comeback by Dick Francis, Scarlett (sequel to Gone With the Wind) by Alexandra Ripley, and The Deceiver by Frederick Forsyth. The other one contains Stillwatch by Mary Higgins Clark and Proof by Dick Francis.
The others are Rat Race, 10 Lb. Penalty, and Field of Thirteen (13 short stories). Refusal is by his son Felix Francis.
