Book description
Penny is the daughter of one of the owners at Staten Island Downs, a
popular New York race track. Everyone agrees that she's a knockout.
When she disappears, her father calls in a favor and Henry Po, an
investigator for the Racing Commission, is asked to find her. But as
Po begins to dig he finds more than a missing girl. He lands in the
middle of a feud between Penny's father, the self-absorbed Benjamin
Hopkins, and his former partner and self-styled lothario, Paul
Lassiter. He also finds a jockey being hounded by a shadowy gang of
thugs, possibly part of an ongoing race fixing investigation. Could
the two cases be connected? And what about the lady jockey, Brandy,
who suddenly seems so interested? Is she all that she seems? Po has
more clues than he knows what to do with, and they may just add up to murder.
