Dick Francis
Dick Francis’ witty blend of horseplay and mystery is an incredible combination. As a result, each of his equestrian novels gallops onto best-seller lists. In Twice Shy, Dick Francis whips up a fast-paced race through the risky world of horse betting.
Offering little explanation, a friend thrusts some cassette tapes into Jonathan Derry’s hands. But when the young man tries to play them, he realizes that, instead of “Oklahoma!”, he’s been given taped computer programs. Exploring the lines of code, Jonathan discovers that they can help him predict and beat any racing odds. It's not long before Jonathan is pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse against foes who will do anything to get the lucrative programs.
With unexpected twists, both in the races and on the tapes, Jonathan is soon dodging danger at every turn. As William, a savvy ex-jockey, comes to his aid, Twice Shy becomes an exciting dual narration that highlights each colorful character and moment of suspense.

Would you try another book from Dick Francis and/or Simon Prebble?
I like Dick Francis as an author. This story, however, was not his usual caliber. His books are usually intelligent and well researched.What could Dick Francis have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
It is improbable that someone would think that trying to make a thug rich by making an oafish, unrefined, neanderthal into a savvy better was a stretch. I think this story also has a shelf-life that expired somewhere in the '90s, because computers are ubiquitous now.Which character – as performed by Simon Prebble – was your favorite?
Jonathan Derry was good. I like Simon Prebble as a performer.Could you see Twice Shy being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
NoAny additional comments?

Johnathan has a brother, William. 14 years after the first story, the culprit gets out of jail and goes looking for Johathan. He finds William instead. More intrigue, adventure, and thrills.
A duology in one book.
