Summary
With the stakes so high, racing can be a deadly business...best-selling author Felix Francis' latest thriller!
Chris Rankin is a doctor, a specialist in emergency medicine at Cheltenham Hospital, but a doctor who also has health problems.
A smartly dressed man has been found unconscious at the local racecourse and is rushed to the hospital, where he subsequently dies. But who is he? Where does he come from? He had no form of identification on him, and no one claims the body.
Doctor Rankin is intrigued by the nameless dead man, obsessed even, and starts asking questions. However, someone doesn't want the questions answered and will go to any lengths to prevent it, including attempting murder. But no one else believes that someone tried to kill Chris, leaving the doctor no option but to discover who the nameless man is and why he died, preferably before following him into an early grave.

Change of angle
The first "Dick Francis" novel from a female character I believe. Felix you have done a brilliant job. Don't know how correct the medical stuff is, but don't care. Fast paced, good characters & a twist in the tale at the end. Masterpiece. The Francis inheritance is alive & well.

Racing drama from a different angle
I have no idea how correct the medical content is, Felix is continuing in the fast paced addictive style of his late parents. couldn't stop listening as the storyline developed. Excellent narrator hope she will narrate more audio books. highly recommended. I am officially a Francis addict

Gripping!!!
I started listening to this audiobook after being gifted it by a good friend who called it 'gripping'. I then looked at some of the reviews and wished I hadn't. I found true empathy for anyone who has suffered from depression. Never have I read (or heard) of a main character's true struggle in such realistic terms. I think some of the reviews have been left by very lucky people who have never suffered.
That said I thought this was a thriller truly worthy of the surname of 'Francis'. Well done Felix, your Dad would have been proud you have elevated an adventure/thriller into a new thought provoking realm.
I very much look forward to hearing more.
To anyone in two minds as to whether to buy this book (after seeing the negative reviews) I would say give it a go and try and empathise with the main cha rate instead of judging her. No wonder people having had 'mental health' issues feel there is a stigma attached if those reviews are anything to go by!

Very obviously produced for American listeners
Story OK, narrator OK but aggravated by use of American terms rather than English words.

Slow start but developed into a great book
I've read all Dick/Felix Francis books and was initially surprised by the slow start and slight change of style.
Glad I stayed with it as I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Very well read too

Ploddingly predictable plot
A straightforward racing based crime novel as one would expect from the Francis stable. The plot was predictable with no surprises. Good narration though and I did manage to finish it. Not Felix Francis's best effort

Totally different Francis book
Although loosely based around horse racing, this had a totally different feeling. I was mesmerised from start to finish.

Dear Felix stories good Americanisms naff!
This time I lost track of how many Americanisms were used. Dick Francis talked people to get things right, this was6a British medical story, so why get the units wrong? Q mixture of SI and non SI units, terminology incorrect but despite that a cracking read!
