By Dick Francis (read by Geoffrey Howard)
About the toymaker who thinks in circles
Regardless of the profession/trade of the hero, all Dick Francis stories are some how tied to the horse-racing industry. The main character in this story is Steven Scott, a successful, race horse owning toymaker. When bamboozled (read cheated, lied to, assaulted, robbed) by his trainer, he sets about to make it right and to put an end to the nefarious doings of his erstwhile friend.
I am a long, long time fan of Dick Francis. I like the fact that, with a few exceptions, each book is a new set of characters and a fresh setting within the world of horse racing. Most of all, I love the writing; it is one of the things that keeps me coming back to these books over and over again.
Four stars.
