Please join me for the Upstate NY launch of my 9th novel—Race Track. I’ll read a few excerpts, have a Q&A and sign copies.
A bit about RaceTrack: It’s a fast-paced murder mystery set in the now-defunct Sheepshead Bay Race Track in 1880 Brooklyn. The lives of Jack (a scrappy female race track worker trying to pass as a man), Spiro (a talented but quick-tempered jockey) and Duds (a skilled African-American trainer) become forever intertwined. This ragtag trio of misfits bond in a tale of rich against poor, good versus evil and darkness against light and underdog versus top dog.
Set in recognizable Brooklyn locales—from Red Hook to Bay Ridge and Coney Island—as well as Hudson Valley towns like Hudson, Garrison and Claverack, Race Track was inspired by Brown Family folklore.
