Description:
Boston: Little Brown, 1990. 1st ed. with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover.. A dashing racing mystery about steeplechasing, set in Ireland. This atmospheric mystery outdoes even the Dick Francis tales in its density of horse lore. Daniel slowly and cryptically reveals the events that have led to-the-manor-born Micky Brennan to his lowly position as a horse trainer at a farm in rural Ireland. There the owner's best asset, the breeding prowess of Sansovino, is endangered by blackmailers who may or may not have a political agenda. In the same way that his dad squandered his fortune, Micky has tossed his life away in a bad marriage, illegal substances and finally a prison term for vehicular manslaughter. Released, he tries selling animal feed supplements but is mainly cold-shouldered by old pals. Then he links up with the American woman who owns the old Brennan estate. Micky knows horses, he knows the land and he needs a job.…

N.Y.: Saint Martin's Press, 1989. 1st.near fine in dj slightly nicked at foot of spine.Review copy. Jockey Ken Eagle. "Comparison with Dick Francis's horse-world thrillers are inevitable but Geller's accent is decidedly American and, with the jockey-narrator-hero's lover a female jockey, very up-to-date. When Tricia Martin's horse collapses in a race, Ken Eagle saves her from serious injury. With Tricia safe in the hospital Ken publicly threatens Marcano, the horse's nasty trainer, for doping his mounts. Then Marcano is murdered and the police discover Ken's watch at the scene and a bloodstained shirt in Ken's closet. The frame-up doesn't work but sets Ken to sleuthing about the murder and Marcano's method of "juicing" his horses. Geller isn't quite up to Francis's mastery, but the story moves quickly and the racing color is terrific." -- Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Review Copy.

London: Michael Joseph, 1992. 1st edition. A fine, unread copy in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY. Boldly Signed by author at half title page. Ex-jockey Freddie Croft now runs a fleet of vehicles which transport racehorses across the British Isles and Europe. But when two of his drivers pick up a hitchhiker who ends up dead, Freddie's got a big problem. First, it quickly becomes apparent that the hitcher wasn't quite what he seemed. And second, Freddie finds that his horse boxes might just be being used for moving something a lot less legal than horses. Now he must figure out what is going on before the police, and before whoever is doing it cottons on and tries to stop him - permanently. During his lifetime Dick Francis received many awards, amongst them the prestigious Crime Writers' Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger for his outstanding contribution to the genre, and three 'best novel' Edgar Allan Poe awards from The…
