Shattered (Dick Francis)

Gerard Logan is a talented glass artisan whose life spirals into chaos after the tragic death of his close friend, Martin Stukely, a celebrated jockey.

After his friend is killed in a horse-racing accident, Gerard grapples with his grief and the memories of his creative partnership with Martin. The story shifts between between Gerard's glass gallery, the bustling racetrack, and the somber atmosphere of Martin's funeral, where the impact of his death reverberates through the community. But when Gerard discovers that a robbery has occurred at Martin's home, he finds himself embroiled in a deadly search for a stolen videotape—a videotape that just might destroy his own life.
