Whip Hand
Whip Hand is a crime novel by Dick Francis, the second novel in the Sid Halley series. The novel received the Gold Dagger Award for Best Novel of 1979, as well as the Edgar Award for Best Novel of 1980. Whip Hand is one of only two novels to have received both awards (the other being John le Carré's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold). The cover of the first edition features actor Mike Gwilym, who played Halley in the Yorkshire Television adaptation The Dick Francis Thriller: The Racing Game, in costume as Halley.
