Dick Francis -- The Man Who Didn't Win the National -- RIP


My morning email from The Blood Horse featured this story:

Best-Selling Mystery Writer Dick Francis Dies


Francis was 89, so he had a long, fruitful life, but those who love horses and pleasant fiction from a man who loved horses will miss him.

Here's the best news article I've found so far: "Dick Francis, British Jockey Turned Popular Mystery Author, Dies at 89"
