Shattered
Dick Francis
When jockey Martin Stukely dies after a fall in Cheltenham, he
accidentally embroils his friend Gerard Logan in a perilous search for a
stolen videotape. Logan is a glassblower on the verge of widespread
acclaim. Long accustomed to the frightful dangers inherent in molten
glass and in maintaining a glassmaking furnace at never less than 1800
degrees Fahrenheit, Logan is suddenly faced with terrifying threats to his
business, his courage, and his life. Believing that the missing video
holds the key to a priceless treasure, and wrongly convinced that Logan
knows where to find it, criminal forces set out to press him for
information he doesn't have. To survive, he realizes he must sort out the
truth.
