Case 28: Centaur

Microscope

Show Notes

Case Twenty Eight. Centaur? Centaur! Mat Ewins dons his best silks and climbs into his stirrups as he launches into Hoof Hefner, convicted fraudster and horse trainer extraordinaire. A bizarre tale of lies, deceit and the charms a man with horse legs can hold over simple folk, one for the record books but for all the wrong reasons.
