A Killing at the Track — Janet Dawson

Investigator Jeri Howard is fascinated by the beautiful horses and the zealous spectators at stylish Edgewater Downs. But behind the scenes, where the owners, trainers, jockeys, and grooms mingle, life is not so pretty.

Someone is terrorizing owner-trainer Molly Torrance with sinister phone threats. Who would be s malicious? Jeri's money is on ambitious jockey Benita Pascal, whom Molly recently fired. But what about great horses suddenly losing races? Or the blonde whom Jeri spies betting a bundle on the longest of long shots? And what about ...cold-blooded murder? For when death's dark horse hugs the rail, Jeri gallops to find a ruthless killer.
