Jacques,
Re your comment below:
"Dick Francis made a career writing hardboiled novels about
horse racing. Come to think of it, I don't recall Francis
ever being discussed here. It has been a long time since I
last read him, but I would bet his stuff holds up well. Any
fans here?"
I'm a huge Francis fan, particularly his series about
jockey-turned-PI Sid Halley.
The only reason I didn't mention him is because I thought we
were supposed to focus on team sports, rather than individual
contests like boxing. Or horse racing.
Francis has come up a few times. Most recently on a thread
having to do with authors who'd won Edgars in more than one
category in the same year during Gores month.
