It’s amazing what bodily injury can do for a man. A fall from a racehorse left brilliant jockey Sid Halley dangerously depressed, with a wrecked hand and the need for a new career. It was a bullet wound that helped him find one.

Although he’d been with a detective agency since his racing accident, it isn’t until some two-bit hoodlum drills a slug into his side that he is sent out on a case of his own. That is where he meets Zanna Martin, a woman who just might make life worth living again. But it is an even-money bet that he will be killed before she has the chance.

Published in 1965, Odds Against provides a riveting and early exemplar of this genre. Francis carefully crafted plot with twists and well-seeded clues, coupled with lovely character development and apt descriptions and turns of phrases. I was introduced to this author’s work in a college Brit Lit course, and I’m so happy to revisit his work on Audible, lo these many years later. Highly recommend!

Timeless Thriller

Gripping story. I expected it to show its age now over 50 years after it was published, but it was wonderful.

Fun read
