Fire Horse by Bill Shoemaker

Straight from the Winners Circle, the greatest jockey of all time draws on his vast experiences on and off the track to spin this suspenseful mystery starring jockey-turned-sleuth Coley Killebrew. . . . It all starts when Johnny Rousseau, Coleys partner in the Horses Neck Bar and Grill, finds himself saddled with a little problem named Paula Dresner. Gorgeous, rich, and spoiled rotten, Paula has Johnny twisted around her manicured little finger--but hes not too love-blind to see that shes gotten herself mixed up in some very suspicious business. Coley follows her trail, and it leads him to some peculiar racetrack photos, cut-rate hoodlums making secret nocturnal shipments of high-priced thoroughbreds . . .and murder. As Coley begins to put the pieces together, things get hotter and hotter. Its a fire that may consume some of the finest horses in the country. And Coley, too. . . Shoemaker continues to show a broader streak of fun than Dick Francis, and a more pronounced taste for intrigue...tossing off plot twists like thrown horseshoes. --Kirkus Reviews Theres plenty of action and excitement in his story, and its a wild ride. --The Waterbury Republican
