Welcome to SARATOGA, in the 1950s; home of touts, millionaires, horsemen and railbirds, the heart of thoroughbred racing in America. It drowses each year until August, then comes vibrantly alive.

Into this strange world came Don Channing, junior partner in a sedate New York law firm. His task was to solve the year-old murder of wealthy sportsman Jerome Fails. His firm's client, glamorous Katherine Fails, was determined to prove that her son had been murdered by his lovely, avaricious young wife.

Don found himself in the midst of a conspiracy to hide the truth, a plot so deadly that murder followed murder. The one complication he didn't need was to fall in love with the beautiful young widow he was supposed to prove guilty!
