Why have some of America's best jockeys begun to intentionally lose races? Was the death of 92-year-old Bernard Glockner, Chicago's oldest active bookmaker, suicide or murder? Those are the questions facing Matt O'Connor, a Chicago-based columnist for a national horse racing newspaper. Soon, Matt is deep into an investigation of what he believes are races whose outcomes have been manipulated for the benefit of a few. Helping Matt in this puzzling venture are horse trainer Maggie Collins, Dave Zimmer, and a professional gambler known as 'The Fount' for his reputation as an encyclopedic source of information. Who is the brilliant sociopath behind these crimes? John McEvoy, a former editor and executive columnist for thoroughbred horse racing's 'Bible,' Daily Racing Form, is the author of six mystery novels, as well as four non-fiction books. Two of his books won Ben Franklin Awards from the Independent Publishers' Association. He and his wife Judy live in Evanston, IL. joehoy.com/clients/johnmcevoybooks
