The Edge

About the author

Dick Francis, geb. 1920, war viele Jahre Englands erfolgreichster Jockey, bis ein mysteriöser Sturz 1956 seine Karriere beendete. Er schrieb über dreißig Jahre lang Thriller, die mehr oder weniger das Pferderenn- und Wettmilieu als Hintergrund haben. Dick Francis lebte mit seiner Frau auf den Cayman-Inseln, wo er 2010 verstarb.

Robin Waterfield was formerly a university lecturer at the universities of Newcastle and St Andrews, before becoming a commissioning editor at Penguin Books. A freelance writer and translator since the early 1980s, he has published numerous translations of the Greek classics for both the Oxford World's Classics and Penguin Classics. He now lives in the far south of Greece on a small olive farm.
