It’s the classic law of the invader. Get to the strongest guy and smash him, then watch the weaker ones fall like ninepins. Which is just what a vicious gang of horse dealers decides to do when their little kickback scam is threatened with a spot of old-fashioned honesty.

But they haven’t reckoned with bloodstock agent Jonah Dereham, a man who belies his quiet exterior with a steely and implacable resolve. They can threaten him, try to burn down his home, even attempt to kill him. But they’ll soon wish they hadn’t.

Another brilliant Dick Francis. Full of action and suspense right up to the end.

Brilliant story

The combination of writer and narrator cannot be beaten in my opinion, though occasionally the recording suffers from being muffled. No-one writes a death scene for a loved one like Dick Francis, who could have guessed that a thriller writing ex-jockey could be so good with emotions. I've also discovered that Tony Britton at 1.25 speed, morphs into Richard Briers!

Great story and great narrator
