Acerca de esta escucha
"The master of suspense and intrigue" (Country Life) is back with the next powerful installation in the Dick Francis series, featuring Sid Halley, perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Michael Connelly.
Sid Halley, a private investigator, has a new left hand, having had a transplant since his last appearance in Refusal. After receiving death threats, an ex-jockey trainer friend calls Sid to ask for his help, but Sid has his own problems to deal with, like recovering from surgery and saving his crumbling marriage.
When his friend's stable yard is torched, horses killed, and the friend is found dead, Sid can only blame himself for not helping sooner. The police think it's suicide, but Sid is not convinced after his friend's terrified phone calls. Heavy with a guilty heart, Sid starts to investigate and soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that cuts to the very heart of the integrity of British horse racing.
Can Sid figure out what happened to his friend, or will he be the next one that the killer targets?

Steeplechase jockey Derek Franklin has had more broken bones than he cares to count, but it seems his latest injury could very well bring his days on the race course to a screeching halt. But that’s the least of his concerns when his brother turns up dead, leaving Derek as the sole inheritor of his estate. It doesn’t take long for Derek to learn that his brother—a magistrate who imported and sold semiprecious stones—was keeping more than his share of secrets.

British investigator David Cleveland doesn’t think so. He’s convinced someone made Sherman disappear, but with every answer David gets, the body count rises. And if he isn’t careful, the next body might just be his own.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

When globe-hopping British First Secretary Peter Darwin returns to his childhood home for a visit, he is sorry. Waiting for him were long-hidden memories, a string of racehorse deaths and homicide. As Darwin begins to realize that the key to all of it involves his own past, he wishes he'd never come back, because he just might never leave again—alive.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 237
The catastrophic power of a giant hurricane can raise coastal waves 30 feet high and blow through houses at devastating speeds. For TV meteorologist Perry Stuart, however, such predictions are hypothetical, as he chiefly predicts periods of English drizzle - until a fellow forecaster offers him a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small airplane as a holiday diversion. But a frightening accident teaches Stuart more secrets than wind speeds.

Good book, and well narrated
Enjoyed it much more than the last one. Worth a listen if you're a Dick Francis fan.

Love a good Sid Halley story
I've always loved Sid. Loyal, intelligent, loving guy who was not afraid of showing his weaknesses. My only complaint it how Marina was written. Very self centered. I know that there are plenty of women out there who are like this (just watch any Housewives show, and it's chock full of them). I just wish she were more supportive of Sid and his needs. Other than that, great story, and wonderful to have another great Halley novel.

Sid Halley returns
Some of the sneaky & ingenious ways Sid derives identity or information is cunning. Felix Francis keeps the Dick Francis genre alive. The villain is identified early, it’s the chase & capture that is always the intriguing part.

Comfort fare
Sid Halley is one of my favorite characters. He just isn’t the same anymore - may be the narrator or the writing or a combination of both that makes Sid seem pompous and arrogant. However, this makes good comfort reading/listening for those of us who miss Dick Francis.
By the way, the vaccination references in the book were part of maybe one paragraph describing issues with transplants. Science, not liberal conspiracy. Enjoy!

Felix can hold his own in Dick Francis’s books
Another great story just like Dick Francis would’ve written. I hope Felix writes many more. The narrator has definitely cemented the character of Sid Halley.

Francis tradition continues
Though there were more than enough "self searching" passages, this latest Sid Halley novel from Felix Francis was an enjoyable listen. Martin Jarvis was, as always, a perfect narrator of the story.
