Dick Francis spins a riveting and exciting tale but also one that will linger in the mind. Interesting characters that evolve and are woven in and out of the storyline.

Fascinating study of the human condition.

As with other readings by this actor, at first I thought his voice was too mature to play this character. However, he's so good that I was well past that by 10 minutes in. The story is one of the best Dick Francis ones and the kids and I were entertained during long car journeys.

Great story, read well.

The usual mix of racing and mystery masterfully plotted. Great listening with an excellent narrator.

tony Britton always enhances a story. I can listen to Dick Francis books over and over again, he knew the racing world so well, and makes one feel that any other subject is well researched. Yes, they are formulaic/ but many authers who write a series of books especially of this genre are formulaic, doesn't make them less readable.

in this current world of digital photos the manual production of photos is a skill of the past age but quite fascinating. A well written and presented Dick Francis novel.

I loved this story. on mated what sounds like people talking in the background constantly

fast paced and typical Dick Franvis

always loved this one as a book. Britton is, as usual, superb. the story is a slight variation on the usual formula but still contains the familiar self loathing, redemption, violence and morality. First book in the 70's without a foreign country setting. I presume the punitive tax rates had dropped so the tax deductible travel less valuable!

His best?

Fast paced action centered on a not quite first class national hunt jockey, who in the course of narrative finds himself confronting his past and dealing with the politics of jump racing; brushes with betting syndicates, a power grabbing bully, a religious cult and a narcotics pusher leave our hero battered and bruised, but hardened by his experience. Wonderfully paced and detailed, a thoroughly enjoyable listen (and read).
