About this listen

Amazing what bodily injury could do for a man.

A fall from a racehorse had left brilliant jockey Sid Halley dangerously depressed, with a wrecked hand and the need for a new career. And now a bullet wound was helping him find one. He'd been with a detective agency since his racing accident, but it wasn't until some two-bit hoodlum drilled a slug into his side that he was sent out on a case of his own.

That was where he met Zanna Martin, a woman who just might make life worth living again. But it was an even-money bet that he'd be killed before he had the chance.

great story, good narrator but sound quality lacking. had to turn volume up very high and big difference between different sittings of the narrator . Sound and volume would suddenly change. Still worthwhile listening though

the sound quality is not great at times.
