The Edge by Dick Francis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I heard about this book on the Trains episode of Strong Sense of Place (my latest bookish podcast obsession). I had never read a Dick Francis novel because I didn't think I was interested in horseracing (and I still don't think I am), but this one was about trains and Canada and was a really good story which kept me up and turning pages well after I should have been sleeping. I will definitely be reading more Dick Francis novels.

The Great Transcontinental Mystery Race Train is a luxury trip across Canada (not quite the full 5,514 kilometres across, but close) for the international horse-racing community (including the horses) where a murder mystery production will be part of the planned fun. Our hero Tor Kelsey is going along, incognito, to make sure that a well-known blackmailer who signed up for the trip at the last minute doesn't spoil all the fun.
Thanks for the mention! -- I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
