Coyne depicts the ambiance of Saratoga, the track, its characters, and the actual race as though they were real.
This intriguing equine mystery novel is a constant page turner through the surprising and provocative ending. 3 to 1 is a perennial sellout at Saratoga Racecourse and many other race tracks across the country. In equine mystery writing, Jim Coyne is America's answer to Dick Francis.

Jim Coyne was one of the longest tenured elected county executives in US history representing Albany, NY. As a sideline, he owned and raced thoroughbred horses. His horses won seven races at historic Saratoga Racecourse. In his first mystery novel, 3 to 1, Coyne blends his political and equine experience into a thoroughly fascinating "who done it" read. 3 to 1 climaxes on the most famous of days at Saratoga, Travers Day. Coyne's admiration for the famed English race horse novelist, Dick Francis, is quite evident once you read 3 to 1.
