| From Publishers Weekly English actor Britton's rich， chameleonlike voice immediately immerses the listener in the intricate plotting and well-drawn characters that typify the work of Francis. Britton (The Day of the Jackal， etc.) expertly tells the story of narrator Philip Nore， an aging jockey who uncovers widespread corruption among his associates after delving into the allegedly accidental death of a sports photographer who "trafficked in ignominy and humiliation." Excellent sound quality and Britton's impressive vocal range echo the intense emotional turmoil Nore experiences as he moves closer to discovering a killer， putting his own life at risk and confronting the truth of his troubled conscience and Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. From AudioFile Philip Nore is a jockey whose life is turned upside down by secrets， deadly secrets left by a racetrack photographer who dies in a car crash and family secrets known only to a much-hated grandmother. Dick Francis is always a good read， and the narrator， Tony Britton， heightens the enjoyment tremendously. He has a warm， richly layered voice that is relaxing and never hits a wrong note. From the harsh， deriding voice of Philip's grandmother， to the light， waffling voice of Jeremy Folk， a young solicitor， Britton gets everything right， giving each character a distinct and consistent voice. Definitely a value-added listening experience. P.G. © AudioFile 2000， Portland， Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile， Portland， Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
