Valentine, a blind, confused and dying old man, makes his final confession to a visiting friend, Thomas Lyon, mistaking him for a priest.
Thomas, in Newmarket to research for a new film, is placed in a moral dilemma. Wild horses wouldn't drag from a priest the secrets of the confessional - but then again, Thomas is not a priest.
Should he tell what he knows from the confession, or not?
The answer could mean the difference between life and death . . .
Wild Horsesis a masterly mix of convincing characters, fine writing and an inscrutable and ingenious plot, from legendary crime writer Dick Francis.
