Description

A thrilling novel of courage, corruption, and murder in the world of harness racing.

The hustlers and hangers-on, grooms and gamblers, owners as high-strung and quick to bolt as their thoroughbreds, and the sleek, powerful beasts themselves – when it came to harness racing, Johny Behn knew it all.

As a trainer/driver there were few as good; none better. A run of bad luck had kept him out of winning silks for a while. But now he’s turning Shame the Devil – a three-year-old disappointment nobody else believed in – into a high-stepping record breaker.

Suddenly Johnny Behn’s got a winning horse, a wonderful woman, and a rosy future… until a good friend’s grisly murder turns up the burning edges of a conspiracy that could carry him far from the winner’s circle into a dead heat with disaster!

“Leavitt mixes racing, suspense, and intrigue with most entertaining results. Edge-of-the-seat excitement!” Booklist
