Hands Down

Dick Francis Novels, Book 11

By: Felix Francis

Narrated by: Martin Jarvis

Sid Halley, a private investigator, has a new left hand, having had a transplant since his last appearance in Refusal. After receiving death threats, an ex-jockey trainer friend calls Sid to ask for his help, but Sid has his own problems to deal with, like recovering from surgery and saving his crumbling marriage.

When his friend’s stable yard is torched, horses killed and the friend is found dead, Sid can only blame himself for not helping sooner. The police think it’s suicide, but Sid is not convinced after his friend’s terrified phone calls. Heavy with a guilty heart, Sid starts to investigate and soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that cuts to the very heart of the integrity of British horse racing.

Can Sid figure out what happened to his friend, or will he be the next one that the killer targets?

Hence over and over also in other f.f books

f.f. Please cut back on all those "hence" s. They are SO annoying. And Chico is pronouncedChEEco not Chico.

Fantastic read

As usual a great book to listen to, and Sid Halley has moved with the times as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Sid Halley

How nice to read another Sid Halley novel. The narrator is superb. The story has been written as if by Dick Francis with all the quirks and character from previous novels.
