______

Perry Stuart, TV meteorologist, chiefly predicts periods of English drizzle, with bursts of heavier rain and sunshine to follow. His life calm and ordered, his face familiar to every British household, Stuart's profound weather knowledge and accuracy have given him high status among forecasters, but no physical baptism by storm.

That is, until a fellow forecaster offers him a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small aeroplane as a holiday diversion.

By frightening accident, Stuart learns more secrets from the flight than he'd like.

Now, back in England, he faces threats and danger as deadly as anything that nature can evolve . . .

Packed with intrigue and hair-raising suspense, Second Wind is just one of the many blockbuster thrillers from legendary crime writer Dick Francis.
