A Run For Your Money: A horse racing ownership thriller in Bloomington, MN

The future looks bleak for Mary Romano. She's just lost her husband, her savings are used up, and her Brother-in-Law is showing a less than healthy attitude toward her. However, an unexpected windfall allows Mary some respite and she decides to spend some of the money on a totally frivolous and fun activity; owning a racehorse.
Mary soon realises that buying her racehorse may have been a mistake as dangerous people start to take a keen interest in her and her new trainer. Before too long, she's in a race to uncover her dead husband's secrets and protect herself, her friends, and her racehorse.
This is the fourth book by horseracing storyteller, Richard Laws.
Praise left by Amazon customers for previous books by Richard Laws:
Great story with many twists & turns. Well written, pacey with a strong cast of characters. The sort of book John Francombe & Dick Francis wished they had succeeded in writing.
Such a very, very clever plot and engaging characters that one can identify with...A good fast paced story, the villains were totally impossible to guess from earlier in the book.
I read a lot of crime thrillers including racing ones by the likes of Dick and Felix Francis, John Francome etc. This was as good as any of those.
An affirmed longstanding Dick Francis reader I am converting to Laws with each and every publication.
