Author Dick Francis, winner of the prestigious Crime Writers’ Association’s Cartier Diamond Dagger and the only three-time recipient of the Mystery Writer of America’s Edgar Award for Best Novel, died on Valentine's Day at the age of 89. Francis was a pilot in the British Royal Air Force and a highly successful steeplechase jockey before he turned to writing. Most of his more than 40 novels are set in the world of horse racing, and virtually all of them have been bestsellers.
