Bolt

De: Dick Francis

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

The privileged world of horse racing, filled with sleek thoroughbreds, burnished leather, and the silken sheen of jockeys’ colors, is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Let bestselling, internationally popular author Dick Francis take you to the immaculate stables of the de Brescou estate, where dark forces are lurking.

Someone is killing the de Brescou racehorses with a “bolt” gun, shooting them silently, leaving no clues. Before the noble family, which includes his fiancée, is torn apart, jockey Kit Fielding must find the assassin.

There are higher stakes than the horses, though. The de Brescous could lose control of their family business as well.

Bolt spent 13 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. From regal countesses to dapper racing officials, it puts you in the company of truly intriguing characters.

“The plot races along wonderfully well, right up to a jolting twist at the end.”—Publishers Weekly

An old favorite

The audio brought back the pleasure of this story after many years. I read the book twenty years or so ago, but the story didn't feel dated.

Outstanding

Fast moving, well written and read. Dick Francis never disappoints me. His books always send me to an atlas to see where the story is located.

Read this one Second

This is the second of two mysteries that feature Kit Fielding. The first is "Break In." As ever, Francis writes great and Prebble reads great. There's really not much more to say....

Another Winner

I have never read a Dick Francis book I didn’t like, and this is no exception. Five stars all around!!!

Dick Frances at his best
