Histoire
Felix Francis co-wrote several horse racing mysteries with his late father Dick Francis before the legendary author passed away in 2010. Taking up the reins for his first solo effort, Felix delivers a captivating tale that franchise fans will thoroughly enjoy. Former jockey Nicholas “Foxy” Foxton is at the track one day when he witnesses the execution-style killing of his friend Herb Novak. Worried he might be next, Foxy wonders if there was a dark side to Herb he didn’t know about.

Histoire
Amazing what bodily injury could do for a man. A fall from a racehorse had left brilliant jockey Sid Halley dangerously depressed, with a wrecked hand and the need for a new career. And now a bullet wound was helping him find one. He'd been with a detective agency since his racing accident, but it wasn't until some two-bit hoodlum drilled a slug into his side that he was sent out on a case of his own. That was where he met Zanna Martin, a woman who just might make life worth living again.

To the Jockey Club, the racing world would be a better place without Julius Apollo Filmer. An expert in corruption with a devastating line in witness intimidation, and proving to be a slippery character to put behind bars. Baffled, they call in undercover security agent Tor Kelsey to keep an unflinching eye on Filmer and his associates. A mission that takes him from the finest of English racecourses to the wild Canadian interior, on a luxury transcontinental train journey to end them all.

Histoire
On the first day of Royal Ascot, the crowd rejoices in a string of winning favorites. Ned Talbot has worked all his life as a bookmaker – taking over the family business from his grandfather – so he knows not to expect any sympathy from the punters as they count their winnings, and him his losses. He’s seen the ups and downs before – but, as the big gambling conglomerates muscle in on small concerns like his, Ned wonders if it’s worth it any more.

Description
New York Times best-selling author Felix Francis returns with his newest edge-of-your-seat horse-racing thriller in the Dick Francis tradition.
Harrison Foster, a crisis manager for a London firm, is summoned to Newmarket after a fire in the Chadwick stables kills six very valuable horses, including the short-priced favorite for the Derby. There is far more to the "simple" fire than initially meets the eye...for a start, human remains are found among the equestrian ones in the burnt-out shell. All the stable staff are accounted for, so who is the mystery victim?
Harry knows very little about horses; indeed, he positively dislikes them, but he is thrust unwillingly into the world of thoroughbred racing, where the standard of care of the equine stars is far higher than that of the humans who attend to them.
The Chadwick family is a dysfunctional racing dynasty. Resentment between the generations is rife, and sibling rivalry bubbles away like volcanic magma beneath a thin crust of respectability. Harry represents the Middle Eastern owner of the Derby favorite, and as he delves deeper into the unanswered questions surrounding the horse's demise, he ignites a fuse that blows the volcano sky-high.
Can Harry solve the riddle before he is bumped off by the fallout?
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Narrator Martin Jarvis is always magical. His pacing and clear diction are always perfect. Jarvis wrests every bit of humor, romance, malevolence, and dysfunction from Felix Francis's latest crime story." (AudioFile)

Best written Felix Francis book
I have been a Dick Francis fan since Bonecrack. Dick never wrote 2 words when one would do. He used adverbs in a way that would have been annoying if it didn't so perfectly paint the picture. Felix has just written a book that, for me, comes very close. Good plot, interesting characters. Thanks

Felix & Jarvis
Marvin Jarvis is an excellent reader for this story.
Marvelously told in the first person, an attorney turned crisis manager finds he must solve more than one mystery. He also discovers romance.
The story lacks some of the gruesome brutality of some of Felix's father's tales, thank goodness.
Since the narrator knows next to nothing about resources, it gives Felix the opportunity to teach a great deal about the sport of kings. It's a good introduction to those who are not as knowledgeable about horse racing. Novices could learn without pain.
Gripping story.

Another wonderful Francis thriller/mystery
A fire has left champion race horses dead, and one human victim's remains are also found in the ashes, but more victims follow.
.
The twists and turns of the investigation are fast paced and fascinating. In addition, the underlying human stories of the investigator, the victim, and the perpetrator emerge.
.
I was enthralled throughout.

Felix Francis best book yet
Better then I expected. This reminded me very much of his father Dick FRANCIS. I haven't lived all of Felix's book but this one was excellent. note for those listening with young children around this book contains a rather a sex scene, it's not super graphic but they do talk about sex a fair bit leading up to it.

Narrator Ruins It
I have several Dick/ Felix Francis audiobooks narrated by Martin Jarvis in my Audible library; and while Jarvis is not my favorite narrator in the Francis franchise (that would be Simon Prebble) I have, until now, found his voice work quite adequate, not annoying. Jarvis’s narration of “Crisis” is so bad that I am debating whether to give up and exchange this title, as I don’t know if I want to endure three and half more hours of his sinus congested voice, and insipid interpretation of the character Kate, the protagonist’s love interest.
I am interested in the story, the dysfunctional family of thoroughbred trainers at the center of the mystery has well developed characters. The dialogue between Harry, the protagonist, and the the other characters is not read by Jarvis in as grating a manner as is the dialogue between Harry and Kate. The chunks of story that focus on their developing relationship are unbearable to listen to. I’m very disappointed, as I am picky about narration, and carefully steer clear of narrators I dislike even if they are reading an author I love.

Maybe for horse lovers
The narrator made an already silly story very annoying. The main character is supposed to be in his thirties, but the narrator makes him sound at least 60! And the female voices? Terrible. I learned a few things about horse racing, but not enough to make this book remotely interesting.

So glad that Felix Francis has broken with tradition and not felt compelled to include a lengthy torture scene!

Not there yet
I keep reading his books hoping he will approach his father’s skill with the written word. This was a disappointment to me. The narration was fine, but Felix has a way to go. I am waiting for him to produce a book that is indistinguishable from his father, who is always a joy to read even if I don’t love the story.

Not as suspenseful as I like
Martin Jarvis did his usual outstanding performance, but the story was rather bland in my opinion. Even the moment of danger fell flat. Also, I wish that characters would enjoy getting to know one another and gradually falling in love rather than jumping into bed immediately. Honestly the girl he gets together with throws up red flags right away (getting drunk, throwing a fit when he can't tell her confidential things, wanting sex immediately) and the only thing they had going was a rabid sexual appetite. I don't know if I'll listen to anymore of Felix's novels. They are getting a bit too formulaic.
