Publisher's Summary

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. On board, a troupe of actors are playing out a murder mystery to amuse their wealthy passengers. Ideal cover for a secret investigator with secrets of his own. And ideal cover, as it turns out, for an ice cool blackmailer with murder on his mind.

audio issues p

as this is a Dick Francis novel, it is entertaining from start to finish.
however my only complaints, are with the audio itself. it sounds like it was transferred from tape to digital and the tape wasn't in very good shape.
the narrator did a good job however his Canadian accent was off by at least 40 decades.
all in all, a great listen.

Excellent story.

Dick Francis never fails to delight. Tony Britton is excellent as a narrator. My only issue is that, as another listener suggested, this has been transferred from tape to digital and there are certainly background hissing noises.
