Hired to fly four racing buffs to the track, pilot Matt Shore expects it will be the kind of job he likes: quick and easy. Until, that is, he’s forced to make an emergency landing just minutes before the plane explodes.

Luckily, no one is hurt, but it isn’t long before Matt realises that he’s caught up in the rat race of violent criminals who are dead-set on putting anyone who stands in their way on the wrong side of the odds.

Another absolute blinder from Dick Francis, enjoyed every minute of it. If the recording is old and crackles a bit it adds to it being a old story

Another hit!

As usual, Dick Francis holds your attention right to the end. I found Ian Ogilvy’s slightly sardonic narration very in keeping with the character of the protagonist and enjoyed it.

Gripping

I had read this book years back but the story was new to me again, after all that time. Dick Francis books are always great and this one didn't disappoint either. The narration was first class, even though it was obviously recorded a long time ago.

Great.
