About this title

Synopsis

Blood pounding in the head... death in the saddle... killers at the finish... murder at the races.More than any other sport, horse racing encompasses all walks of society - from the royal and the very rich to the gamblers and the frankly shadv characters who hover at the edges of its world of speed, thrills and big money.Murder At The Races is a heart-stopping collection of tales Knuturing such famous races as the Grand National, the Gold Cup and the Kentucky Dcrbv; stories bv brilliant jockeys-turned-writers like Dick Francis, John Francome, Steve Donoghue; obsessive gambler-turned-writers like Edgar Wallace, Ernest Hemingway and Damon Runvon; and bv top crime writers such as Leslie Charteris, Julian Symons, John Galsworthv and Agatha Christie.Murder At The Races as fast, furious and exhilarating as the Sport of Kings itself.
