When globe-hopping British First Secretary Peter Darwin returns to his childhood home for a visit, he is sorry. Waiting for him were long-hidden memories, a string of racehorse deaths and homicide. As Darwin begins to realize that the key to all of it involves his own past, he wishes he'd never come back, because he just might never leave again—alive....

"One of Francis' most winning novels."

Classic Dick Francis, keeps you guessing to the end. Audio quality was not great though.

Love Dick Francis and most of Felix Francis. I thought sound quality just fine. So glad I ignored reviews to the contrary. It was amazing to listen to DF book I hadn’t heard before. Good reader, good story!

Sound quality must have been fixed

Narrator was evidently at a zoo, a busy airport, a garden full of birds…all those background sounds were present in all the audio. Good narration and fabulous story, surprising that Audio books would allow the poor quality.

Terrible audio, great story

I really enjoyed the plot and the twists and turns. Nice read(listen), as usual, with a Dick Francis novel.

Great Plot

The recording sounded like it was phoned in on many different phones with terrible connections. At one point, it sounded like the narrator was recording in an office with others talking in the background. Not sure if my download was just bad or what. It wasn’t so awful that I couldn’t listen, but very distracting.

Like the story, but sound was weird

Dick Francis’s story is brought to LIFE by Tony Britton. The number of characters and their participation in the threads of the novel are so intricately woven into a great tale! But wait for the twist! Thank you to audible for making this book available!

Great Dick, Francis story. But terrible recording sound quality with garbled sound, and volume fluctuations

I’m glad I listened, but the sound/recording was terrible.

The story was great, and so was the narration. But the recording sounded like it was coming off a tape recorder 40 years ago! I’d still listen to it again, but was surprised at the poor sound quality.

Great story…not so great audio quality!

A new avenue for Dick Francis…the main character is a man from the Foreign Office who helps a couple who were mugged. This takes them to England and meeting the vets. A mystery from the past gets inexplicably intertwined with the mystery in the present—the inexplicable dying of horses at the vets hospital.

Veterinarians, horses mysteriously dying!

Story great as usual. Characters the best. Not the best technical aspect reflect to sound quality but even that could not detract from the excellent narrator.

Another Winner from Dick Francis
