A Birthday Celebration. A Champion Horse. A Deadly Toast.

Alfred Wellington has everything he wants on his sixtieth birthday. His prized colt just won at Liberty Racetrack, the champagne is flowing, and the crowd is cheering.

Then Alfred collapses.

At first, everyone assumes it was a heart attack—until the autopsy reveals the truth.

ALFRED WELLINGTON WAS POISONED.

Former insurance investigator Callie Oaks Coffman knows Liberty Racetrack inside and out. She knows its horses, its owners, its trainers—and she knows that secrets can get someone killed. As she and her new husband, reporter Paul Coffman, become drawn into the investigation, Callie discovers that Alfred left behind plenty of people with reasons to want him dead.

A beautiful young wife.
A secretive trainer.
A bitter ex-wife.
A business partner with something to hide.

But which one of them is the killer?

BECAUSE IN THE WINNER’S CIRCLE, EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE.

Return to the world of Liberty Racetrack in the second Harness Racing Mystery, following Fire at the Track.
