Edward Lincoln is a worldwide celebrity who plays detectives on the big screen. But when his godmother asks him to investigate her racehorses in South Africa, he's out of his depth. Soon enough, he's plunged into a plot of gold, greed, and gilded lives that forces him to uncover a killer and give a bravura performance he'll never give again....

I started reading or re-reading Dick Francis's books about a year ago. This is #10 and new to me. It's a good solid Dick Francis book that I enjoyed. I'm not sure if reading these books so close together is good or not but I have enjoyed each one. It's a good who-dun-it with a deeper than expected main character. But those darned handcuffs !
