A beautiful Italian girl driving home in an open top sports car, a little boy playing on a South Coast beach and the senior steward of the Jockey Club on his way to a press reception in Baltimore. One after the other they suffer the same nightmare ordeal - kidnapping. But there is one thing connecting these particular cases. For the Italian girl is a jockey, and the little boy an only son of a racehorse owner.

A picture of the person behind this international chain of crime starts to emerge - a lover of Verdi, a man with a cool and calculating brain and an aficionado of the racing world. Andrew Douglas, brought in to advise and help the victims and their families, proceeds with all his customary diplomacy and courage. Only to find himself playing a dangerous part: the role usually reserved for his clients.

…..but still a gripping story. With Tony Britton’s excellent interpretation of characters and situations it was gripping to the end .

Racing takes a bit of a backseat…

Fantastic book ruined by atrocious conversion from tape master to digital file - there is a chunk of the book TOTALLY MISSING. Bolinda and Audible should be ashamed at this slapdash approach. Delivering 85% of a crime thriller novel is NOT acceptable.

Audio file FAULTY - at least one chapter totally missing

Terrific

Forgotten how enjoyable Dick Francis books are. Really have enjoyed listening, gripped me from the start, end may be a bit far fetched, but hey it's a novel!
Like Tony Britten's narration, nice easy flow to it, feels as if he reads ahead before ha d so he knows what's happening.
