For an abridged reading, this one is very good. The story itself is superb! An accountant who knows all the financial connections between villagers, and a jockey who rides for the thrill of it but not as a professional finds himself held captive for no apparent reason. The desperation and futility of his helplessness and the terror and joy of escaping keeps you on the edge of your seat. Dick Francis is ALWAYS a good read.
