I read 'Whip Hand' a couple of years ago and was mightily impressed with DF's storytelling and characterisation. Particuarly memorable was my visceral reaction to the protag - who has already lost one hand in a racing accident - being threatened with the loss of the other. He knows what he's about to lose - and as a reader you feel that reaction 100%. Damn fine writing.
