EVERYTHING'S FIXED AT THE TRACK...AND SHE'S GOT A CON THAT CAN'T LOSE!
Annalise Finley’s turned up at the track in New Orleans, in her own private race to get revenge on the man who cost her everything and to save the life of the horse she loves—and maybe save the man she loves. She's anything but what she seems—even her secrets have secrets. And the con she has in mind is as diabolical as the thugs she’s going after—but a lot more clever. The fun of this one is watching her bait her trap and slowly reel in her mark—then just when you you're ready to slap her on the back, you find she has another trick up her sleeve.
A very noir mystery short story with great New Orleans atmosphere.
WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of Dick Francis, Damon Runyon, THE STING, horseracing, horses, and all complex crime capers and clever cons.
Genre: Mystery
