DESCRIPTION:
Patto said "Obsessions don't go away". Dick Francis was especially good at father-son sagas. I really enjoyed this one.Malcolm Pembroke is the father, a man who's become immensely wealthy buying and selling gold. Lucky in everything but wives, Malcolm has been married five times and produced nine children. When the story opens, wife number five (Moira) has just been murdered in her geranium patch.The son who narrates the story is Ian Pembroke, thirty-three-year-old amateur jockey. He's a typical likeable Francis hero: resourceful, loyal, cool in a crisis, . Francis' epic family feud I rate HOT MONEY a masterpiece done up by a mastercraftsman whose high heyday spanned decades. When it published in 1987 I believed HOT MONEY to be Dick Francis' most ambitious thriller yet, teeming in its cast, engaging with its two lead characters, stunning in its complexity, and compulsive in its reading. Ian Pembroke, 33-year-old amateur jockey and assistant horse trainer, had been estranged from his father, Malcolm, for three bitter years. And yet Ian is the only person Malcolm thinks to trust when he becomes tar. D. Kvarnstrom said Four Stars. I always like Dick Francis
