A great collection for the mystery lover in your life.  Offering two great Dick Francis novels with unusual characters, intricate stories, fast-moving prose and no end of surprises . First "10 lb. Penalty" (the title refers to a weight handicap given a favored race horse) a tale about a wanna-be jockey who accepts a job in his father's campaign for Parliament--and realizes that politics can be the most perilous horse race of all. As the action begins, Ben Juliard, a teen-age apprentice jockey, is tipped out of his job to find himself helping his father, George, win a seat in the House of Commons. Five years later, George Juliard is headed for national prominence when vicious rumors about an old crime are bruited about by his enemies and Ben, now an insurance investigator, returns to help solve it, risking his life in the process. The cast of characters includes some credible politicians and their women, and as nasty a bunch of English villains to be found this side of Charles Dickens. Even their names have a suitably Dickensian ring: Alderney Wyvern, a slimy political operative; a small-town reporter answering to Usher Rudd; and three middle-aged campaign volunteers called Faith, Marge and Lavender. Second is "Wild Horses"- The New York Times Bestseller- A New York Times Notable Book is one of the better crime novels written by Dick Francis with some interesting glimpses into British filmmaking. While visiting a dying racing columnist named Valentine Clark, Tom Lyon is mistaken for a priest by the confused old man and forced to hear his confession. Since the names mentioned by Valentine are totally unfamiliar to Tom, he disregards the confession as merely the product of Valentine's delirium. Tom is directing a movie nearby which is inspired by a famous unsolved murder case from the past. Sonya Wells, the wife of trainer Jackson Wells, had died mysteriously of asphyxiation. Sonia was the sister-in-law of Rupert Visborough, a prominent member of the Jockey Club. The careers of both Wells and Visborough were ruined by the suspicion of murder. Valentine had known these two men as well as Sonia and several of her friends. As the filming progresses numerous attempts are made to stop Tom from completing the project and perhaps solving the mystery of the killing. One of the actors is slashed while riding on the heath by an unknown horseman.Valentine's sister Dorothea is attacked and her house is ransacked. Tom is stabbed in a crowd. By the time Valentine's nephew is killed, it is very clear that the murderer is after Valentine's books and notes which are now in Tom's possession. In order to catch the killer, Tom does some research on exotic knives and then takes the necessary risks to lure him out of hiding.   The Crying of Lot 49 Thomas Pynchon Oedipa Maas is made the executor of the estate of her late boyfriend, Pierce Inverarity. As she diligently carries out her duties, Oedipa is enmeshed in what would appear to be a worldwide conspiracy, meets some extremely interesting characters, and attains a not-inconsiderable amount of self-knowledge.
