The Jockey's Justice is a detailed and meticulous true-to-life crime story written by a man who "lived through it" in more ways than one. And it just goes to show that money and power continue to be a huge incentive for murder, be it in The Big City or Hicksville. A sad commentary, to be sure, on so-called humanity.I was especially disturbed because this novel revolved around horse-racing, my favorite sport. Bad enough that these beautiful animals are sometimes "drugged for profit" but killing their riders? It simply increases my cynicism about the nefarious souls of some people. In my opinion, this novel would make a great movie...
