Guilty Not Guilty is the latest (2019) in Felix Francis's continuation of books in the style of his father, Dick Francis (or possibly, according to some rumours, the style of his mother).

Since the elder Francis wrote a lot of non-series titles, it's hard to say the younger is continuing a series (although he did write one Sid Halley title), but in any case, the books seem pretty clearly built on the same model.

Guilty has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK. These tend not to drop either so much or so quickly in the US, so if you are in the UK, and/or can travel, you might grab it if you want it.

It is said that everyone over a certain age can remember distinctly what they were doing when they heard that President Kennedy had been assassinated, or that Princess Diana had been killed in a Paris car crash, but I, for one, could recall all too clearly where I was standing when a policeman told me that my wife had been murdered.

Bill Russell is acting as a volunteer steward at Warwick races when he confronts his worst nightmare – the violent death of his much-loved wife. But worse is to come when he is accused of killing her and hounded mercilessly by the media. His life begins to unravel completely as he loses his job and his home. Even his best friends turn against him, believing him guilty of the heinous crime in spite of the lack of compelling evidence.

Bill sets out to clear his name but finds that proving one’s innocence is not easy – one has to find the true culprit, and Bill believes he knows who it is. But can he prove it before he becomes another victim of the murderer.

Guilty Not Guilty is a journey of greed and jealousy set against the grief of personal tragedy and loss, with many a twist and turn along the way.
