BONECRACK

Neil Griffon, who had broken with his father altogether as a youngster and made it on his own, is forced to take over the old man's training stables when the latter is hospitalized. He's also forced to take on, as a jockey, the son of a murderously mad Italian who wants the best for his boy and is ready to kill to secure it. Francis is back at the top of his form in the special world he's created and this exerts considerable torsion right down to the crunch — of broken hocks and collarbones. You'll like these sons of sons and the gentle moral message.
