Publisher's Summary
It’s the classic law of the invader. Get to the strongest guy and smash him, then watch the weaker ones fall like ninepins. Which is just what a vicious gang of horse dealers decides to do when their little kickback scam is threatened with a spot of old-fashioned honesty.
But they haven’t reckoned with bloodstock agent Jonah Dereham, a man who belies his quiet exterior with a steely and implacable resolve. They can threaten him, try to burn down his home, even attempt to kill him. But they’ll soon wish they hadn’t.

A Knockdown success
A Dick Francis tale is always a good read and well worth the time and Tony Britton makes it all the more worthwhile with his way of reading that is well paced and has all the right emotional impact!
This tale is no exception from Dick Francis and like any other in his list always a good one to pick up for a light thriller

Very good... but I had to slow it down
Had to play this one at 0.85 speed cause it felt horribly rushed at the standard speed. Like the narrator was trying to cut the length by talking faster.
That said, one I found a speed that didn't distort the performance it was a lovely listen.

fantastic narrative
having been a fan of Dick Francis for almost 20 years now, I whave read and re read all of his books. The narrative form has ticked every box, when reading we enter our own imagination. The narrator has his voices down to a tee. I throughly recomennd to any one. five stars.

Great story and great narrator
The combination of writer and narrator cannot be beaten in my opinion, though occasionally the recording suffers from being muffled. No-one writes a death scene for a loved one like Dick Francis, who could have guessed that a thriller writing ex-jockey could be so good with emotions. I've also discovered that Tony Britton at 1.25 speed, morphs into Richard Briers!

Not his best
listen to about 20 of his and this is the weakest. plot is thin and no specialist subject. I think he took the year off!

Knock Down. My favourite Dick Francis.
I love the way Dick Francis writes. This book displays his research and empathy at it's best, the struggles of loving an alcoholic. Always will be my choice to read or listen to. Thank you.
