Mystery Book Club

Come to Grief by Dick Francis

One-handed private investigator and former jockey Sid Halley investigates a horrifying string of mutilations of two-year-old ponies that unnervingly mirror his own injury. Much to Sid’s dismay, the evidence points to his old friend and former racing competitor Ellis Quint, who has become a popular TV entertainer.

Moderated by Carole Shmurak, author of 11 books and Professor Emerita at Central Connecticut State University. To participate, contact Carole at cshmurak@gmail.com and put “Wallingford Mystery Book Club” in the subject line.
