Thanks bar49 and orlok.

Even though the line of demarcation is not always clear, I had the impression that Dick Francis's books would be classified as mysteries rather than thrillers--am I wrong about that?

To the Hilt certainly sounds interesting.

Just looked at the description of To the Hilt at Amazon--that makes it sound more like a caper. Don't think it's my kind of thing.
