EVEN MONEY

Hi people, for the first time on my blog there is a space for a 'Murder Mystery'. The dual writers : Dick and Felix Francis have created a marvelous impact with their suspense novel 'even money'. It has all sorts of emotions ; there is drama, action, suspense(all over), love and adventure.
The plot is that, a bookie, Ned Talbot, earns his living by engaging himself in his family business of placing bets in the Horse Race for punters and enjoying gains with loads of risk. He lives with his grandparents since he was a child cuz as per them Ned's parents died in an accident. But, forgetting his past, he is really happy in his busy married life of bookmaking, the talent which he got from his grandfather who was himself a known person in the Royal Ascot. Ned, a thorough professional, likes dealing with different punters. But one busy day, an old man constantly watches him throughout the time which makes Ned irritated. Tired of it Ned goes to him and asked why was he staring him continuously. That old man then claims himself to be Ned's father whom, Ned knew that he died years ago !!! This perplexed him a lot...he was out of his mind..., but somehow he agrees his mouth. At the same time when they were having conversations while walking in the parking lot, another person came and shot his father dead ! That man also tried to kill Ned but he could somehow save himself...but he was in complete shock seeing his father's jeopardy in front of his eyes when it was not even an hour of their first glance. It, then, automatically became a police case and in the DNA test, it was proved that this dead man was indeed Ned's father. The report also suggested that his father was the killer of his mother as well.
Trying to solve this mystery and finding the killer, Ned had to face some serious breathtaking problems, but finally, the mystery unlocks itself..! The book is a complete success in itself and I would suggest you to read it with full enthu. and interest. Personally, I liked it a lot.!
