Francis Dick. Risk

Classic detective story in English by Dick Francis RISK.
Roland Britten, accountant and champion steeplechase jockey, wakes to confusion. He's cold, blind, and can't find his hands. Something above prevents him from sitting up, and a rumbling din fills his hearing and rattles his bones. Obviously, he surmises, it is pitch-dark and he is bound near som kind of engine. But why? Ans where? And by whom?
All the staggering answers come when Roland manages a bold escape - then he is quicly recapptured in a deadly game of cat and mouse. What is at stake is his very life, and that is worth any risk.
