## About this book

Shattered is a gripping mystery and thriller written by Dick Francis. The story begins when jockey Martin Stukely dies during a steeplechase at the Cheltenham races. This tragedy pulls his friend, Gerard Logan, into a dangerous search for a stolen video tape. Logan is a talented glass blower whose professional success is suddenly threatened by a group of criminals. These villains believe the missing tape leads to a priceless treasure and wrongly assume Logan holds the key to its location.

This work of classic literature blends elements of horse racing and fiction to create a high stakes pursuit. As Logan faces terrifying attacks, he must uncover the truth to survive. The narrative follows his journey through England, where he encounters more hazards than any racecourse could provide. Shattered stands as a tense example of English detective and mystery stories, focusing on resilience and survival.
