Dick Francis
Died yesterday.
I've read a LOT of his novels, sort of a guilty pleasure. Reminds me a little of Clive Cussler only with plot lines focused around British horse racing instead of NUMA - totally easy reads, utterly predictable. (In fact, I have Field of 13 on my bedside table right now) One of those people that seemed to do a lot with what he was given. Godspeed.

I remember when his books were not available in the US.
I found my first ones while on vacation in Mexico. They WERE in English. Great stories. |

I liked his books, Dick Francis and the guy who invented the frisbee die in the same week.
