First edition.
"Whip Hand is a departure for Dick Francis in that for the first time he has given new life to the chief character of one of his former books. Sid Halley, who first appeared in Odds Against, is back in explosive action; working as before as a private investigator in the racing world." [Quoted from the dust wrapper blurb]. Very good .
