Produktbeschreibung
In 2002, seven old friends get together for a day at the track. And they hit the Pick Six. Their leader, Arnie Rison, convinces them to use some of their seven-figure payoff to buy race horses. One of their buys turns out to be a moneymaker with sensational speed. When injury sidelines The Badger Express in 2005, he is worth a fortune more in stud fees. So Arnie instigates an agreement: if one of the significant seven dies, the others assume his share down to the last survivor. It's now 2009, and members of the significant seven are dropping like flies. Ad-man-turned-investigator Jack Doyle finds himself protecting Arnie's daughter Renee. Can the always irreverent, observant, opinionated, sometimes mistaken but always persistent Jack Doyle solve not one, but two, series of crimes? John McEvoy is the former Midwest editor and senior correspondent for Daily Racing Form. The Significant Seven is his fourth novel, following Blind Switch, Riders Down, and Close Call. McEvoy and his wife Judy live in Evanston, IL. www.johnmcevoyauthor.com
