About this listen

 Steven Scott is relatively new to horses. A successful, wealthy inventor, he takes up horse racing as a hobby - a hobby that soon brings him winner after winner under the inspired guidance of his trainer, Jody Leeds. Currently both their reputations are wrapped up in a beautiful black hurdler named Energise. But just when Steven is winning at both women and horses, he discovers deceit in his own stables. Termination of the troublemaker marks Steven for his own termination - and much sooner than he can imagine...©1975 by Dick Frances (P)1995 by Blackstone Audiobooks Great Britain Literature & Fiction Suspense Fiction Mystery

One of Francis' finest.

Have enjoyed his novels since I was first introduced to them. This is one of my favourites. The plot is well thought out, and the story flows well. The narrator is good. Great way to while away 6 hours.
