LESELUST eigene Meinung schreiben Dick Francis - Rufmord Krimi. Diogenes Verlag, ISBN: 3-257-22988-7, DM 16,9 Ersch. 1964 unter dem Titel "Nerve" Deutsch 1964 unter dem Titel "Die letzte Hürde" Neu übersetzt 1998 Der Autor: Dick Francis, geb. 1920, war einst einer der bekanntesten Hockeys Englands, bis 1956 ein Sturz seine Karriere beendete. Er hat bislang - unter anderem auf Betreiben der Queen Mum - 38 Bücher geschrieben. "Scherben" ist laut seiner eigenen Aussage sein letztes Buch, das er Königin Elisabeth, der Königinmutter, zum 100. Geburtstag gewidmet und erst auf ihre Bitte hin überhaupt noch geschrieben hat. Weitere Titel: (Auszug, nicht chronologisch!) Fehlstart Schnappschuss Zügellos Favorit ... Gegenzug Rob Finn ist Jockey - keiner der berühmten, erfolgreichen, sondern einer der vielen, die um jeden Ritt dankbar sind, auch wenn ihm prinzipiell eher schlechte Pferde angeboten werden. Er schlägt sich somit mehr schlecht als recht durchs Leben. Die Stimmung ist generell nicht gut unter den Jockeys. Einer erschießt sich, weil er entlassen wurde, ein zweiter wird so aggressiv, dass er in psychiatrische Behandlung muss. Die Trainer klagen, dass kaum einsetzbare Jockeys zur Verfügung stünden - den wenigen, die hier sind, werden schlimme Dinge nachgesagt.

So groß das Entsetzen über diese Tat auch im ganzen Land ist - keiner glaubt daran, daß ausgerechnet Ellis sie begangen haben soll. Sid sieht sich einer Hetzkampagne in der Zeitung "The Pump" ausgesetzt, der sich sämtliche andere Medien anschließen.
