Dick Francis Mysteries (2 Disc Set)

Dick Francis, a former successful jockey who won several hundred races before becoming a best-selling crime writer, used his familiarity with the twists and turns of high stakes horse racing to concoct compelling equine mysteries that took the literary world by storm. Francis's greatest mysteries have since been turned into riveting made for TV thrillers starring the great English actor Ian McShane (Roots, The Battle of Britain), who plays the intrepid David Cleveland, the chief investigator for the British Jockey Club who takes on the sinister underbelly of the racing world. All three of these TV movies are presented in this stunning DVD collection, including:



Twice Shy (1989): A computer whiz later linked to an illegal horse race betting service, is found dead at the bottom of a rock cliff. It looks like an accident, but David Cleveland isn't so sure.

In The Frame (1989): A violent explosion kills an innocent young woman, the only clue is a painting that may not be authentic. Investigator Cleveland heads for Germany and a million dollar con game involving art, vintage wine, a beautiful woman and fast horses.

Blood Sport (1989): A $6,000,000 stallion is missing and someone is trying to kill the owner. Cleveland follows a treacherous trail that takes him to the heart of the Canadian Rockies and a race for his life.
