Book Description

1981
Charlie Bradshaw is a regular, down-to-earth guy -- middle-aged, divorced, an ex-cop working as a security guard at a Saratoga stable. Then his boss gets killed. It shows Charlie what's behind those powerful and prestigious stable owners.

But Charlie doesn't back off. Aided by a motley band of guards and grooms, racetrack touts and toughs, Charlie discovers a far-reaching plot behind the murder -- a discovery that just might cost him his life!

"Dick Francis had better look to his laurels. An American long shot, appropriately named Dobyns, is coming up fast on the outside." (The Houston Post)

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, July 31, 2007
By 
I picked this up because I loved Church of the Dead Girls. The story is of an ex-cop in Saratoga, New York investigating the shooting death of his boss. The bumbling local police chief doesn't like him invading on his turf. Nothing really new here. The most interesting aspect is that Dobyns sprinkles in anecdotes about old-time gamblers.
