ARE THE RUMOURS TRUE, OR IS THE NIGHT OWL MYTH NOTHING MORE THAN A HUGE LIE?
Many myths exist in horse racing circles. Top of that list is the Night Owl Myth. The European horse of the year and highest-rated 3YO in the last decade, his breeding career was tragically cut short. And the myth? That on a night of coincidence and intrigue, he fathered an illegitimate daughter, a foal who would, by a quirk of fate, turn out to be his only offspring capable of continuing his bloodline... should the myth be true. If so, where is this mythical daughter of Night Owl?
Immediately following their investigation into ‘The Good Morning Girl’ murder, Holly Grant and Eugene Bainbridge find themselves embroiled in a case that not only tests their detection abilities, but also threatens their livelihood. And for Bain, it becomes more than a touch personal.
This is the third story in the Grant Bainbridge series of horse racing detective novels by Richard Laws.
PRAISE FOR HORSE RACING THRILLERS BY RICHARD LAWS
- Great story with many twists & turns. Well written, pacey with a strong cast of characters.
- The sort of book John Francombe & Dick Francis wished they had succeeded in writing. Such a very, very clever plot and engaging characters that one can identify with...
- A good fast-paced story, the villains were totally impossible to guess from earlier in the book. I read a lot of crime thrillers including racing ones by the likes of Dick and Felix Francis, John Francome etc. This was as good as any of those.
- An affirmed longstanding Dick Francis reader I am converting to Laws with each and every publication.
- Totally captivating stories which you can't put down until you get to the sting in the tail.
Genre: Mystery
