Inquiry

Controversial decisions by U. S. thoroughbred track owners lead to murders that Jack Doyle must stop in the seventh novel in John McEvoy’s horse racing mystery series. Doyle, ever the intrepid and irreverent amateur sleuth, also works to save his old friend Ralph Tenuta from a blackmail scheme hatched by a viciously clever horsewoman from Louisiana’s Cajun country as well as attempting to extract furrier-to-the-Mob Moe Kellman’s son-in-law from the grips of a persistent tout.

When race track owners who have banned prominent racehorse owner, Ted Tilley, begin being murdered under strange circumstances, Jack Doyle steps in to try and solve the crimes. He almost finds more than he bargained for this time.
