Thriller
Irreverent Jack Doyle has worn many hats, one or two blown off by his
irrepressible temper. A former boxer, advertising rep, and publicity
man, Jack’s midlife career has been shaped by the world of thoroughbred
horse racing and dark deeds therein. So it’s no surprise when two FBI
agents he’s sleuthed with before pressure him to identify an animal
activist who is carrying out “mercy killings” of retired race horses
donated to Midwestern university veterinary schools. Plus two Chicago
senior citizens are being threatened by an imperious Internet
millionaire intent on owning their beloved horse.
Then a call comes from Ireland where the life of Jack’s friend Niall
Hanratty, the noted bookmaker, is under attack from an unknown enemy.
Meanwhile Doyle’s nemesis Harvey Rexroth, the rapacious media mogul Jack
helped put into federal prison, enlists a fellow inmate, a Mobconnected
attorney, to have Jack killed. Carrying out this contract will be W. D.
Wiems, a brilliant, frighteningly warped University of Kansas student
who has eagerly launched a career of murder for hire. Fast tracking,
Jack visits vet schools while juggling pieces of investigations near
home and traveling twice to Ireland where his quest to find Hanratty’s
enemy takes him to Kinsale, Connemara, and a Dublin slum. Meanwhile the
vicious contract killer is, all unknown, tracking Jack…
