At 35, Freddie Craft has retired as a steeplechase jockey and now runs a fleet of motor horseboxes transporting runners from their stables to the races, or brood mares to the stud farms. When a hitch hiker is picked up and someone dies, Freddie is drawn into a complicated conspiracy.

2001-11-16 Another great read for all Francis fans

Francis, once again provides an excellent thriller in this book, Driving Force. The work centres around the life of retired steeplechase jockey, Freddie Croft and his business of transporting racehorses. The story and its events are not shy to begin unfolding from page one and there is are a number of twists and turns to the tale, many of which surprise and I didn't see coming!
There were many characters in this book but all play a significant part somewhere in the story.

All in all, a very good read. I've read about 8 of Francis' books now. This one wasn't the best, that one was Proof, but this is well up in the top 5 so far. Next stop, Trial Run.
