Publisher's Summary
When defence barrister Geoffrey Mason hears the judge’s verdict, he quietly hopes that a long and arduous custodial sentence will be handed down to his arrogant young client. That Julian Trent only receives eight years seems all too lenient. Little does Mason expect that he’ll be looking Trent in the eyes again much sooner than he’d ever imagined.
Setting aside his barrister’s wig, Mason heads to Sandown to don his racing silks. An amateur jockey, his true passion is to be found in the saddle on a Thoroughbred, pounding the turf in the heat of a steeplechase. But when a fellow rider is brutally murdered – a pitchfork driven through his chest – Mason’s racing life soon becomes all too close to his working life. The prime suspect is one of their brethren, champion jockey Steve Mitchell; the evidence is overwhelming.
Mason is reluctant to heed Mitchell’s pleas for legal advice – but soon he finds himself at the centre of a sinister web of threat and intimidation. Mason is left fighting a battle of right and wrong, and more immediately, a battle of life and death ... his own.

ONE OF HIS BEST
An entertaining storyline, a touch of romance and an insightful look at the rule of law as a junior barrister works to acquit a colleague of a murder charge. Even for a Dick Francis fan this one stands out. Loved every minute and as always Tony Britton does a great job narrating.

Great for going to sleep to
Incredibly boring I normally love DF BUT will not buy another audio that is solely by him. Narrator sounded about 70 so not convincing as a 36 year old. Very bad choice
