Summary
For millionaire jockey Alan York, winning is a bonus. For Joe Nantwich, victory means no cushy backhanders; and for Bill Davidson, front running on strongly fancied Admiral, triumph means murder. His own.

Another wonderfully-written Dick Francis story
As always with seemingly every Dick Francis book, the story is so well-written that it provides first class entertainment all round. I won't spoil the surprises by referring to the details of the story, apart from to say that the protection racket has been given a brilliant twist in this story; do just go ahead and enjoy listening to it yourself. The narration by Tony Britton takes the beautifully-written words into the realms of a superlative one-man show; a masterly performance as always from this very talented man.

Stone Cold Classic
The first Dick Francis and one of his best. Manages to combine an excellent plot with credible characters whilst at the same time immersing one into the world of horse racing. This may have been written in the '60s, but isn't at all dated. Tony Britten is a superb reader and perfect for Francis, although the sound quality is not particularly good.

Gripping yarn well narrated
Good easy listening: Mr Britten’s narration is excellent: his voice catches the different accents and emotions perfectly. This book was written in 1962, so as well as being a good story it’s an insight into another era.
