To the Hilt by Dick Francis

11Sept. Kindle.

One of his punnier titles. The hilt is an artifact connected with Bonny Prince Charlie which is the focus of a search by the bad guys in the course of which they beat up the hero rather badly. The hero is a painter, specializing in portraits of horses (of course), the despair of his family. He lives in an unmodernized cottage (I know there is a proper Scottish word for structures of this particular type, but I can't think of it at the moment) without electricity or other "mod cons" and plays the bagpipes in his spare time.
