When Kelly Hughes rides the favourite into second place, he gets penalised. Not only has he lost the race, but also his licence, as the Jockey Club suspends him - believing he threw the race.
Only he knows that the problem lay with the horse's performance, not his own. Suspecting he was framed, Kelly sets about finding out how it was done, and then who might have done it.
But the closer he gets to the perpetrators, the more danger he finds himself in. Now there's more than his reputation and career at stake.
There's also his life . . .
Packed with intrigue and hair-raising suspense, Enquiry is just one of the many blockbuster thrillers from legendary crime writer Dick Francis.

—— Sunday ExpressAs a jockey, Dick Francis was unbeatable when he got into his stride. The same is true of his crime writing
—— Daily MirrorBeukes puts cerebral propositions into breakneck thrillers
—— The SpectatorYou can tell Beukes is having an absolute blast putting words on the page. Her fun is evident in the big, bloody action sequences; in the squirmy, almost retro grotesqueness of the dreamworm.
—— The New York TimesBridge is a step into the offbeat, an imaginative stew of ingredients: neuroscience and parasitology, musical theory and Haitian Voudou.
—— ElleComplex, challenging, gripping and thought-provoking. A morally thorny tale without clear-cut heroes or villains. Beukes does a skilful job of balancing desperate but very relatable hope.
—— SFXA blend of sci-fi and thriller . . . I can highly recommend
—— Alison Flood, New ScientistLauren Beukes' multiverse is thrilling-balancing madness, horror, and a big, bleeding, beating heart that reminds us that we are all connected in the end
—— Grady HendrixI absolutely loved it. This fantastic high-wire act of a novel, accelerating to a heart-stopping climax, is at once a cosmic narrative on a grand scale and a deeply intimate human story. Bravo!
—— Catriona Ward, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last House on Needless StreetBridge spiders out into alternate universes, alternate selves, yet manages to be very much about us and our fractured now. It's a humane, thought-provoking puzzle box, and a wildly entertaining novel
—— Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers ClubVast in scope and heart, Bridge is both a thrilling exploration of the known universe and an intimate portrayal of a daughter's yearning for her mother. Lauren Beukes has crafted a suspenseful, deeply immersive odyssey that will make you consider the alternate possibilities inside us all. A perfect summer read.
—— Katie Gutierrez, author of More Than You'll Ever KnowLauren Beukes takes a story filled with psychedelic drugs, parallel worlds, and neuroscience and makes it also about a complex mother-daughter relationship, full of darkness, light, and longing. This is fun and insane and very moving
—— Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of NightWhat if our dreams are twisted-up memories? What if the Mandela Effect isn't an effect at all? Somewhere between The Lathe of Heaven and Everything Everywhere All at Once is Lauren Beukes' Bridge: it's not just reality that's multifold, it's identity. Bridge challenges our sense of reality, chips away at our conception of the self, and shoves us down a slide of our own paranoia. But, it's Lauren Beukes-this is what she does, isn't it?
—— Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good IndiansThrilling, complex, and pulse-pounding. Beukes handles the balance between action and emotion brilliantly, this is speculative fiction of the highest calibre
