P.I. Bertrand Mc Abee never thought he’d see another harness race track after a near-death experience in Cassies Ruler. This former classics prof is hired to look into the beating and threatening of a harness horse trainer. As he engages with the case the story of a pacer – Phantom Express – emerges that begins to capture the attention of America. It also brings back some bad memories to some vicious people. In what occurs too often for Mc Abee’s taste, a simple case caroms into a complex case where death and mayhem lurk.

Joseph A. Mc Caffrey isn’t a classics professor. He’s not a P.I. either. But he is a professor of philosophy at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. Sometime back he was proposed a job not unlike that which his protagonist, Bertrand Mc Abee, was offered and accepted. The fictional Mc Abee stories are explorations of roads untaken. Other Mc Abee adventures include Cassies Ruler, Confessional Matters, The Pony Circus Wagon, and Scholarly Executions.
