A Killing At The Track (The Jeri Howard Series Book 9)

"This little gem of a mystery centers around murder, mayhem and race-fixing at a fictional racetrack named Edgewater Downs in Northern California... Dawson confesses to being a longtime racing fan and has really done her homework well... California racing fans should enjoy the local flavor of A Killing at the Track." California Thoroughbred –

“I don’t know how much Janet Dawson knew about racing before writing A Killing at the Track but she makes you feel as though she’s gotten up at dawn to watch the horses work out all her life. She makes the most of her setting and peoples her story with wonderful characters. Highly recommended.” Sally Powers, I Love A Mystery –

Oakland private eye Jeri Howard likes to play the longshots at Edgewater Downs. Handicapping is a foreign language. She bets on horses because she likes the way they look. It’s a lot of fun and she doesn’t mind losing a few bucks.

But some people will do anything to make a killing at the track. Dope a horse, bribe a jockey – or murder a trainer. Jeri discovers dangerous odds on the track’s backside.
