About this listen

In this tale of murder, smuggling and mystery, bestselling author Dick Francis illustrates how he has attracted fans worldwide with his equestrian mysteries.

Henry Grey is a man who needs a change. His job as an office worker is as tedious as the women his mother sets him up with. His new job transporting thoroughbred racehorses to exotic international destinations should perk up his mundane existence. However, when he intercepts a cryptic message hidden in the bottom of a smuggled bottle of birth control pills, Grey learns that horses are not his only cargo. In this story, set against the backdrop of 1960s Cold War Europe, Grey must rely on reserves of intelligence and courage he didn’t know he had to foil a plot of international intrigue.

Today, bestselling author Dick Francis is known for his brilliant mystery thrillers featuring clean-cut men of character and scruples. They stand alone in the world of mystery heroes.

I read this years ago and enjoyed the Audible version more than my first reading. It’s always interesting when the villain doesn’t appear villainous.

Better the second time around

Great writing. Good story. Excellent narration. Love his writing and the fact that every story is different with new characters each time. Not as easy as writing a series. But each one so far has been captivating.

Another enjoyable book by Francis

The reader was great.

Plodding storyline interspersed with just enough action to keep me hooked. So, I hang in there and then am handed a bust of an ending. Wish I'd spent my time on a different book.

Disappointing for a Fan
