About this listen

Sid Halley had one good hand and another made of metal. Five hundred pounds of horse had landed on him, directly ending his career as a brilliant jockey - and indirectly ending his marriage to the woman he loved.

He had become a private investigator, quite a good one, though his new life could never erase the haunting memories of his past glories. But it was only when the wife of one of England's top trainers came to beg his help in preventing some foul play at the track that Sid Halley began to know what being haunted really was.

Great story-telling read by an excellent narrator. Not deep and significant but it is brilliant relaxation.

Never disappoints

I love this book. One of the first Dick Francis I read when I was about 12, before I realised that it was part of a series. Great story and I love Sid Halley as a character. The only thing that lets this audiobook down is the low audio quality, synonymous with a recording of this time (2005 ish).

Fantastic sequel, but low quality audio

I want to know why Tony Britton, especially after this is not the first Sid Halley book, pronounces Halley as Hawley all the way through this audio book. I find it really annoying and there's absolutely no reason as to why he is doing it.
