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.

All stars

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.

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.
