Dear God. I swear to you by all that is holy that I meant Dick Francis.
I don't particularly like Tom Clancy, and I would certainly not consider
him a writer of good prose. I have no idea what dark recess of my
subconscious mind spewed forth his name.

The problem is all these damned thriller writers with two first names.
i always get them confused.
