![]() ![]() His characters are what really make the stories and I never fail to love the main protagonist. ![]() Written in the first person and narrated by Rob Finn, I love what I always love about Dick Francis's books. Working as hard as he can to get these horses to win just isn't working. Rob comes from a family of sophisticated, accomplished and well-known musicians who tend to look down on Rob's chosen profession as a waste of time.Īlthough winning was nice for a while, coming in last on horses that are expected to do well becomes discouraging to Rob and some others who have lost their jobs as jockeys and their entire livelihoods. ![]() In this one we meet a young steeplechase jockey named Rob Finn who has been on a winning streak. "Nerve" by Dick Francis is one of his earlier novels and so far, from the ones I've read of his forty or so horse-racing mysteries, this one and "Banker" are my two favorites. ![]()
