About this listen
When a sick friend asks Edward Lincoln to investigate the comprehensive failure of a string of racehorses, he agrees to help out. But it is impossible for him to go about the task quietly and unnoticed because he is now a world-class star of action films, in which he always plays the hero. And the apparently easy survey of the string of racehorses blows him through a smokescreen into circumstances, where, to survive, he has to make himself become the man everyone else already thinks he is.

An early Francis
So not as complex as his later ones - but a good yarn nevertheless. Very well narrated.

Excellent climax towards the end
I have listened to many books on audible written by Dick Francis and this is definitely one of my favourites.
Being a fairly early book it flowed very well and I thought it was a good plot with believable characters.
A really good choice in my opinion.
And the narration as usual was excellent.

Less horses - just as gripping
A totally new scenario with racing only incidental to the story. Dick Francis showed his skill in researching new backgrounds, in this case movies and gold mining, but sets them in a complex story involving a large group of characters which includes a good supply of suspects.
The tension is maintained at the usual high, page turning, level.
I am rereading all of the series and thoroughly enjoying it. This is among the best.

Great story
Another great story and Tony Britton is superb as always. It ends a little abruptly, but all is good

Great.
I read this book in paper form years ago and it was great to hear it on Audible. I really enjoy Dick Francis's novels and this one is among his best works. It was brought to life by the wonderful narration from Tony Britton.
