A WOMAN TO BLAME
Vincent Panettiere, author
A thoroughbred race horse collapses and dies after finishing last in a race he was favored to win.
Hours later the stallion's trainer, a young woman with a promising career, is found dead on a beach in suburban Chicago.

Mike Hegan, a veteran police detective being forced to retire on a medical disability, refuses to believe the official version. His search for the truth leads him to a promontory on a Caribbean island where scores are settled and lives lost.
