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.

I have forgotten how much I enjoy Dick Francis novel. Perfectly paced enjoyable thrillers. This one touching on the world of photography and the dilemmas sports people face as they come the eve of their careers.
Technically the sound was a little inconsistent but that hardly distracted from the story. Well worth a listen.

Great Story well told

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).

Blaggards and blackmail

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.

One of my favourite DFs. The main char is likeable, and his surrounding characters easy to enjoy. Even grandma, once you understand :-)
