It's the third death on Cheltenham Gold Cup Day that really troubles super-sleuth Sid Halley. Former champion jockey Halley knows the perils of racing all too well – but in his day, jockeys didn't usually reach the finishing line with three .38 rounds in the chest. But this is precisely how he finds jockey Huw Walker – who, only a few hours earlier, had won the coveted Triumph Hurdle.

Just moments before the gruesome discovery, Halley had been called upon by Lord Enstone to make discreet enquiries into why his horses appeared to be on a permanent losing streak. Are races being fixed? Are bookies taking a cut? And if so, are trainers and jockeys playing a dangerous game with stakes far higher than they realise?

Halley's quest for answers draws him ever deeper into the darker side of the race game, in a life-or-death power play that will push him to his very limits – both professionally and personally.

"Beloved series character Sid Halley, a champion jockey, makes a welcome return in the latest fast-paced crime novel from bestseller Francis....The writing and action are as crisp as ever." ( Publishers Weekly)

The storey was interesting and non predictable and relevant to today even though it was written some time ago.
I used to read these in my teens and my father introduced me to Dick Francis along time ago

How relaxed it made me feel listening to the story.

As always a brilliantly written tale told by a narrator that brings it to life as no other could

Dick Francis, always a winner

Everything in the open and still twists. Britton sounds a bit old and can't do the young voices well anymore. Bolinda improving on the simple task of recording but still has noticeable edits.

classic Francis format

Sid Halley, the jockey turned PI returns to make his 4th appearance in a Dick Francis novel. For me, this is probably his weakest showing (Odds Against being the best Halley novel). Overall it is a typical Dick Francis story, there's something not right in the steeplchasing world and Halley has to sniff it out. However, the plot is pretty thin - the characters (apart from those we already know like Halley and Roland) are one dimensional, and the case is largely solved with about a third of the novel still to go. Generally fine, hence 4 stars, but well beaten by many other Francis books, particularly the older ones.
