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.

The story was very well told by Tony Britten, each character totally believeable. My only gripe is that Sid’s name Halley is pronounced wrongly for me. In the UK it is pronounced ‘Hal lee’ not Hall lee. I have listened to audio books before and it has been the former pronunciation. Each time it was mispronounced (in my view) it detracted from the flow. Equally, in other books Dick Francis or latterly Felix Francis would never have written ‘cell’ instead of ‘mobile’ for a personal phone.

As always, the story grips the listener......

A great whodunnit story, and timeless in nature. good books when they came out and well read now. particularly liked it when the reader couldn't help laughing at one on the excellent one liners.
