Summary

Jockey Philip Nore is no ordinary hero. When Nore began to suspect that a track photographer's fatal accident was really murder, he sets out to discover the truth and to trap the killer.

Slowly, he unravels some nasty secrets involving corruption, blackmail and murder – and unwittingly sets himself up as the killer's next target.

Fascinating study of the human condition.

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.

Great story, read well.

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.

Vintage Francis

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

Reflex

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.

enjoyable puzzle solving

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.
