Morally flexible sidekick Victor Plotz takes on the ninth mystery for everyman detective Charlie Bradshaw.
Now working at the Horse Pavillion at the Saratoga Springs racetrack, Victor finds himself being followed as a badly behaved horse named Fleshpot begins to make waves.
Several murders and a breath-taking car chase see Victor himself come under suspicion while Charlie faces up to his own commitment issues - a fate worse than death.
