About this listen

Amazing what bodily injury could do for a man.

A fall from a racehorse had left brilliant jockey Sid Halley dangerously depressed, with a wrecked hand and the need for a new career. And now a bullet wound was helping him find one. He'd been with a detective agency since his racing accident, but it wasn't until some two-bit hoodlum drilled a slug into his side that he was sent out on a case of his own.

That was where he met Zanna Martin, a woman who just might make life worth living again. But it was an even-money bet that he'd be killed before he had the chance.

The tech referred to is obviously out of date now but a,ways enjoyed DickFrancis stories. Obviously written by someone who knew his subject thoroughly. Tony Britton reads this books so we’ll with excellent characterisation. Two talents sadly no longer with us. Shame Audible cannot improve the sound quality.. re recorded from a well worn tape I guess.
Well worth a listen.

Great Story…

Tony Britten once again brought a truly exciting book to life. Over the years I have read most of Dick Francis books. This audible version is excellent

Dick Francis is brilliant. This (I think) is the first Sid Halley novel; it starts well and then improves; its the first time I've given 5 stars to a book for a while! If you like Dick Francis you will love this.

Another good one

I like the books of Dick Francis anyway and this particular title is ably read by the late Tony Britton. Good to hear his narration again. Enjoyable.

I like this audiobook.
