About this listen

Derek Franklin is an injured jockey. The last fence at Cheltenham has left him on crutches. But his brother’s death means even bigger trouble. He inherits a jewellery business, a mistress – and some very shady business associates. Franklin likes to play things straight. But with £1.5 million in diamonds gone missing, he finds honesty can be a deadly virtue. His only hope of survival is to identify his brother’s mysterious enemies.

Although the recording had dogey quality this was one of the best DF novels I’ve listened to. Have read and listened to for over 30 years and often don’t care for the violence but that goes with the how they role. This was brilliant with little gore. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Excellent storyline
