About this listen

John Kendall knows how to survive. He's written six handbooks on the subject. Now he wants to become a novelist, preferably without starving to death. But when cold and hunger set in, Kendall impulsively accepts an unlikely job.

He is to research and write a biography of Tremayne Vickers, a famous racehorse trainer. Staying at Vickers' home in rural Berkshire, Kendall soon learns to like his host and friends, learns to ride racehorses, learns about murderers ... and how his own survival tips can become deadly traps.

Critic reviews

"Intelligent, fast-paced." ( The New York Times Book Review)
"An exuberant, irresistible collision between writing and racing ... Few match Francis for dangerous flights of fancy and pure, inventive menace." ( The Boston Herald)
"Fast-paced, meticulously plotted ... Nobody sets up a mystery better than Dick Francis." ( San Francisco Chronicle)

Great book, good story line and of course a horse in the plot. Unbridged story is again worth the extra money of a unbridged story.



This story was one which I loved. It was one 'book' I just didn't want to stop playing.

Great book by Dick Frances

Dick Francis is always great but this isn't one of his best, a little over explained and unsatisfying. Great audio performance though, as always. Worth a listen but if your after a introduction to Dick Francis go for Nerve or Odds Against, so you fall in love first.

Not one of his best but still good
