Description
Nerve by Dick Francis is a contemporary racing thriller set in the high-pressure world of professional horse racing. The novel explores performance, fear, and manipulation within a sport where confidence is everything.
The story follows Rob Finn, a young jockey from a family of accomplished musicians, who begins to experience a disturbing decline in his riding ability. As his form collapses in increasingly unexplained ways, Rob becomes convinced that something is being deliberately sabotaged. What begins as personal doubt soon escalates into suspicion of outside interference, forcing him to question the people and environment he once trusted. As tension builds, Rob must uncover whether the problem lies within himself or whether a more calculated force is working against him in the racing world.
Nerve is ideal for readers who enjoy tightly plotted thrillers set in competitive sporting environments with psychological tension and mystery.
