Risk

De: Dick Francis

Narrado por: Ralph Cosham

Roland Britten, accountant and amateur jockey, awakens one morning to find he can’t move his hands—because he is tied up with netting, held captive where no light penetrates and no amount of yelling will get any attention. But why?

He knew that this was the latest in a series of events that had begun when he decided to ride in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, a race second only to the Grand National in the lives of British steeplechase riders. As an amateur jockey, Roland had pleased no one when he took Tapestry past the finish line first in what turned out to be the worst Gold Cup in history. As an accountant whose clientele included horse owners and jockeys alike, he also knew more about the private financial affairs of the racing world than any other person on the racecourse. Was winning the Gold Cup cause enough for his kidnapping? Or was it his knowledge of the books?

"Few match Francis for dangerous flights of fancy and pure, inventive menace." ( Boston Herald)

risk ny dick Francis

it was the typical from Francis and I love them all. I wish I didn't have to do 20 words.

Dick Francis- mystery, intriguing and horse racing!

I always fully enjoy the Dick Francis’s many audio books back from the 1970s to present!

Very entertaining and well narrated

The story moved along quickly and the characters were interesting and believable. It was a unique mystery/thriller.

Good story

Not one of my Dick Francis favs, but still good. Haven’t head it in awhile. Not as good as I remembered. Still recommend it.

Fantastic

I’ve never heard this author before, I’ve listened to 100’s of books and this one nears the top 25 of all time.

Captivating Story

As a lifelong horse owner, loved and laughed at the race with the dysfunctional mount. Enjoyed how all threads came together at the end.

Poor narration

Flat affect! This narration was just Boring. Cannot not get through the first five minutes!!

Not one of Francis’s best, but still interesting.

He does make even accountancy interesting. Too much straining for pain and endurance, so the plot creaks a bit. Narrator mostly strong and clear, but hurries the end of sentences.

How Much Can A Man Endure?

An accountant and a steeple jump jockey end up in a lot of trouble. This is no joke.
The story was difficult to listen to during the troubling parts, I admit I did a few quick ff , as the difficulty of the situation was nerve wracking.
It is a good tale in the end. Amazing writer and perfect narration.

Always a good writer

This story is thoroughly enjoyable. The narrator does a good job of reading it, not quite as good as Tony Britten, but still pretty good. There is one part that is adult material but it does not last too long. The language is fairly clean.
