Bloodline

By: Felix Francis

Narrated by: Michael Maloney

When Mark Shillingford commentates on a race in which his twin sister Clare, an accomplished and successful jockey, comes in third, he can't help but be suspicious. As a professional race-caller, he knows she should have won. Did she lose on purpose? Was the race fixed? Why on earth would she do something so out of character?

That night, Mark confronts Clare with his suspicions, but she storms off after an explosive argument. It's the last time Mark sees her alive. Hours later, Clare jumps to her death from the balcony of a London hotel ... or so it seems.

Devastated by her death, and almost overcome with guilt, Mark goes in search of answers. What led Clare to take her own life?

Or was it not suicide at all ... ?

No.Just another book that has to with horse racing.

Looking forward to the next one.

Like father like son

Felix Francis continues to show that he can deliver novels in the same genre as his dad - and very good they are too. I am even beginning to enjoy Michael Maloney's presentations although, on balance, Tony Britton still has the edge. Keep them coming!
