Bright's Kill: A Campbell Young Mystery

Cover
Dundurn, 2005 - 336 Seiten

When racehorse trainer Delbert "Shorty" Rogers is found dead in a stall at Caledonia Downs, Homicide Detective Campbell Young is drawn into the investigation. Add to the mix a lottery winner, an Internet mogul, a reclusive land baron, his voluptuous helpmate and twin bodyguards, an eccentric environmentalist, a cast of backstretch characters reminiscent of Damon Runyon, and the murder of a thoroughbred racehorse named Download, and the scene is set. The possibility that the deaths of Rogers and Download are unrelated makes Young's task even more difficult. With the assistance of washed-up racetrack journalist Priam Harvey, Young sets out to solve the mysteries and bring the guilty to justice.

Seite 6 - Pigeons Shudders Hell thro' all its regions. A Dog starv'd at his Master's Gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A Horse misus'd upon the Road Calls to Heaven for Human blood. Each outcry of the hunted Hare A fibre from the Brain does tear. A Skylark wounded in the wing, A Cherubim does cease to sing. The Game Cock clip'd & arm'd for fight Does the Rising Sun affright.
Seite 22 - I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, but maybe he knows somethin'.

"With interesting characters, sharp dialogue, superb pacing, and plenty of thrills," wrote Peter Robinson, "this exciting first novel succeeds in whetting the appetite for more." Carpenter lives in Prince Edward County and is currently working on the third Campbell Young book.
