About this listen

The house was stripped bare of all its treasures. Gone was the furniture, the family silver, the paintings and the antique china. And if that was a shock for Charles Todd, painter of horses, how much more harrowing was the trauma for his cousin Donald, whose house it was and whose young wife lay on the sitting room floor, bloody and dead...

A coincidental meeting with a middle-aged widow sends Charles off to Australia, on the trail of a gang with a fruitful business in forging works of art. In a world of high stakes and tremendous risks, where villains will stop at nothing to achieve their ends, Dick Francis weaves his compelling narrative with the control of a master craftsman.

Australian art world + death of cousin's wife

A classic Francis yarn, an interesting framework that leads the hero around the world in search of organised art thieves.

Beautifully written and lovingly read by Tony Britton, the consumate narrator.

Pretty gripping.

This was a fantastic book, with lots of twists and turns. If you like horses, art and a good old fashioned whodunnit…. This is for you.

A brilliant plot. Well read and really enjoyable.

A great plot by Dick Francis and, as always, the beautiful voice of Tony Britton. Another few hours spent with a great book! Onwards to the next one!

Tony Britton captures the integrity of the hero

Great book and great narration

The sound can be slightly muffled at times, but the story and the reader are both superb. Each character has a recognisable voice and the Australian and Kiwi accents are well done.
