Great book!

Yet another great book about Syd Haley. Multiple plots have been interwoven masterfully. Do enjoy!

Fantastic story and reader

Dick Francis'books have held up for me over the years. I read them long ago and I am enjoying listening to them again. Sid Halley is the best character and the only one, I believe, to have more than one book. This book was so good, Sid Halley is the quintessential Dick Francis hero and you couldn't ask for a better reader than Simon Prebble.

another great Dick Francis resd

The second novel in the Sid Halley storyline, this picks up smoothly from where 'Odds Against' finished. I like the Sid Halley character/storyline and very much enjoyed the narration by Simon Preeble.

The best writer!

Sid Halley is the favorite character in this house. I have read all of Mr. Francis' books, and there is not one that disappoints,but Sid stands out .

A "page-turner"

I couldn't stop listening to this thoroughly engaging story featuring former jockey, Sid Halley. I get a little tired of his adversaries underestimating Sid, and his embittered ex-wife's stupidity. But, I couldn't stop listening and enjoying this fascinating character and his action-filled adventures.
