Murder Makes the Mare Go

There were two unusual things about Doc Connor's call. First, the patient was already dead, and second, the patient was a three-year-old filly. Tom, a well-known trainer, knew the horse had not died of heart failure, and Doc was sure it had been poisoned.The mare's owner ran a night club, and it was obvious that personal spite against him had been responsible for the sudden death. How far that spite would go was the $64 question answered soon by another murder, this time with a human victim. An ex-jockey, Snuffy, spoke from the grave. It was what he said, or implied he could have said before he departed this life, that started Doc Connor in the right direction.Lively Broadway characters, plus some fast action, make this a superior Whodunit.Murder Makes the Mare Go was first published in 1950.
