eBook 정보
A dead horse trainer draws a book-dealing detective into a deadly plot in this thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author.
Denver bookman Cliff Janeway is in Idaho for work. Wealthy horse trainer H.R. Geiger wants him to assess a collection of rare children’s books, a legacy left behind by Geiger’s long-dead wife, Candice. But the job turns dangerous when Geiger suddenly dies—and Janeway discovers several valuable titles have been replaced with cheap reprints. Now determined to track down the thief, Janeway must delve into Candice and H.R.’s life on the horse racing circuit.
The trail leads Janeway to California’s Golden Gate and Santa Anita racetracks, where he signs on as a racehorse hot walker. A novice at racetrack life, he tries to remain inconspicuous while listening to the chatter among the hands. He doesn’t like what he hears. And when he goes to the house where Candice died to look for answers, he finds more than he bargained for.
