Banker

by Dick Francis Narrated by Simon Prebble

Overview

An investment banker arranges the purchase of a champion racehorse and gets
caught up in murder in this New York Times bestseller that's “fraught with
violence, conspiracy and, of course, horses” (The Boston Globe).
Tim Ekaterin raised millions of dollars to finance the purchase of Sandcastle, a
champion racer, only to discover an apparent defect in the horse. Investigating
further, Ekaterin learns that the business of investment banking is nothing
compared to the cutthroat world of horseracing-a world where violence and
murder only raise the stakes ...
“The most elaborate plot Francis has yet devised.”-The Washington Post Book
