But when a trusted assistant disappears with millions of pounds, Alexander is reluctantly thrust into a foreign world of bankers and auditors.

The victory was hollow for Alan. He had been running a close second behind his good friend Bill Davidson, when Bill’s horse unexpectedly jerked as he soared over the steeplechase fence. Now, Bill was dead from his injuries, and Alan knew it wasn’t an accident. A small menacing thread of wire dangled from the top of the fence—a carefully constructed plot of malice. Curious, Alan begins an investigation that points to corruption that transcends the racing circuit—seeping into the town surrounding the track.

Architect and family man Lee Morris never gave much thought to the shares he inherited of the Stratton Park racecourse, the multi-million dollar property owned by the powerful Stratton family. His mother had first received the shares to keep her quiet about the abuse she had suffered at the hands of her first husband, Keith Stratton. Now, much to Lee's chagrin, he is being drawn into the thick of the Stratton family squabbles as they wage a furious debate over the future of the race track.

When reporter Bert Chekov falls to his death, his colleague James Tyrone is suspicious. Chekov’s column had recently recommended some ‘can’t-lose’ horses, who then wound up out of the running on race day. Tyrone thinks he can prove it was murder, but he may not live to tell the tale. Because as the dead man has already made clear, there’s no such thing as a sure thing...

Dick Francis’ witty blend of horseplay and mystery is an incredible combination. As a result, each of his equestrian novels gallops onto best-seller lists. In Twice Shy, Dick Francis whips up a fast-paced race through the risky world of horse betting. It begins when, offering little explanation, a friend thrusts some cassette tapes into Jonathan Derry’s hands. But when the young man tries to play them, he realizes that, instead of “Oklahoma!”, he’s been given taped computer programs.

Kidnapping is Andrew Douglas's business: they take them, he finds them. But it isn't so simple when Alessia Cenci, golden-girl jockey, disappears, followed by the young child of a derby winner and the senior steward of the Jockey Club. From Italy to England to Washington, D.C., Andrew's caseload is suddenly, violently overflowing. And he must fight triply hard to keep his own name off the growing list of victims.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 231
The catastrophic power of a giant hurricane can raise coastal waves 30 feet high and blow through houses at devastating speeds. For TV meteorologist Perry Stuart, however, such predictions are hypothetical, as he chiefly predicts periods of English drizzle - until a fellow forecaster offers him a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small airplane as a holiday diversion. But a frightening accident teaches Stuart more secrets than wind speeds.

A dead hitchhiker, empty canisters found at the bottom of several trucks, and the murder of a harmless mechanic are the bizarre events that lead ex-jockey Freddie Croft to suspect that his transport company, Driving Force, is involved in drug smuggling, or something far worse.

Excellent reading of one of Dick Francis's best
Simon Prebble is the best reader of Dick Francis's works because he has the ability to portray the feelings and British emotions of the characters. This book is one of the best written by Francis. It is about a former jockey who is now a film director. It is a mesmerizing book to listen to. I highly recommend it.

Another great performance!
Each time I read or listen to a Dick Francis tale I am staggered anew at his talent with words; he's the best author in that regard that I've ever known. I wrote him many years ago to thank him for so MANY enjoyable hours of reading, and wish I could have met him. The hardest thing to decide is which of his stories is my favorite; every time I finish one I think "It must be THIS one," then I start another and change my mind. :-)
And Simon Prebble must be the best narrator ever; he brings these stories to life so well it's hard to believe it's all not real. If a book has his name on it, I know it will be a first-rate performance: he's expert at making you think all these different people are there ... but it's Simon - all by himself. What a talent! Bravo once again!

Great story!
Books by Dick Francis never fail to deliver suspense, entertainment, interesting characters, and action in spare and elegant prose. Put all that with Simon Prebble’s brilliant narration, and you can expect a winner every time. I thoroughly enjoyed Wild Horses.

Dick Francis - always good
You can't go wrong with Dick Francis. He always wrote a good, exciting whodunnit. You can't go wrong with Simon Prebble either - great narrator.

run wild with these horses
terrific story all tied together at the end with great narration. the voices were always recognizable as the particular character speaking. I didn't figure out who dunnit until it was revealed and it was done so as needed to be -- all tied up neatly.

Thunderous applause!

The ending, of course, the wild horses on the beach!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It did give me an ah-ha! moment for sure

Top Notch Job
I hadn't read this particular Dick Francis book, and was surprised and pleased to find it. I enjoyed the performance of it tremendously. Simon Preeble did a marvelous job! He made the characters separate entities and all believable. I hope to read more w/him narrating.

Excellent story!
The narration was expertly done...you can separate the characters by voice and no mental jerks in the process.
The story is one of the best by this author...and I've read nearly all of them!
