Forty-nine-year-old Fabian Tulley is trying to run his own art gallery in London's Mayfair in peace. But someone seems determined to ruin his life. Accused of selling a fake Alfred Munnings painting, he is unable to prove his innocence because the police are holding the piece as evidence. While running a retail sale at Cheltenham Racecourse, some of his other paintings are vandalised. Then, a couple of men try to run him down in the racecourse parking lot.

To make matters even worse, his clients are being threatened to stay away from his gallery, and his landlords are trying to cancel his lease. Everything is against him, but with someone threatening his life's work, Fabian is determined to fight back.

With the help of Sid Halley, saving his business will prove to be the fight of his life.

The narrator's "female" voice is gross and really cringe worthy. His male voice is easy to listen to.

Gripping story, well read.
Only gripe is that the author is English, the narrator is English, the setting is in England and yet pavements are called sidewalks ! Come on Felix, stop selling out to the Yanks. They may not be the brightest, but I am sure they can work out what a pavement is !

Excellent

Martin Jarvis narration. Sounds like he’s got his mouth stuffed full of cotton wool. Very distracting.

Great storyline as usual
