Publisher's Summary

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. But it was an even-money bet that he'd be killed before he had the chance.

Still Great Reading!

Ive read and re-read Dick Francis’ books since I was a teenager- (our family waited every year for the new book to come out)and the stories and characters still ring real and unique, with subtle humour and insight! He was a master jockey and a master writer.

Some technical issues with the recording

In certain places the recording was poor with shifts in readers’ voices and an irritating background buzz or shhhhhhh noise. That was distracting. Listened on iPad and haven’t found this issue elsewhere.

Great book!

I really enjoyed the story and audiobook. The narration is wonderful except it seems to cut out or change tone/volume every so often.
