Crossfire

Dick Francis Crossfire is the thrilling story of Captain Thomas Forsyth. His tour of Afghanistan is cut brutally short when hes badly wounded by an IED – an Improvised Explosive Device, a roadside bomb. Toms world is torn apart by the injury: the Army is his life. Six months of recuperation leave is a daunting prospect – but not as bleak as the probability of never rejoining his regiment.
Tom returns to Lambourn, to his childhood home, where his mother is a racehorse trainer and the First Lady of racing. Never having seen eye to eye with his parent, Tom doesnt expect a heros welcome – but even hes not prepared for the reception that awaits him.

When his mothers prize horse finishes a vastly disappointing third in a race it should have won, Tom discovers that the training business is on the edge, and facing a threat far more dangerous than a run of bad form. Tom finds himself on a very different, but just as deadly, battlefield where his military skills are tested . . . kill or be killed?
