In 1989, Dick Francis won the British Crime Writer's Association Cartier Golden Dagger Award for Lifetime Achievement, and he's been racking up awards ever since. In 1996, he received the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allan Poe Grand Masters Lifetime Award, and in 2000, the Malice Domestic Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement. A former steeplechase jocky, Francis' mysteries all involve horses in some manner, but each has a slightly different twist. In Second Wind, television meteorologist Perry Stuart's forecasts are highly valued by race horse trainers. But Perry's experience has been mostly theoretical. When Perry and a fellow forecaster decide to experience a Carribean hurricane first-hand, they discover that the high winds are not the only danger.
