When a notorious bar owner is found dead, Dan Sharp is approached by a couple who claim they know the killer's identity. Reluctant at first, Dan reconsiders when he learns about the club's shady payments to the cops. As suspicious disappearances mount, Dan finds himself targeted by someone who wants the case - and anyone connected - dead. After the Horses is a slick, intelligent mystery that also allows time for characters and settings to breathe deeply. In this fourth Dan Sharp mystery Jeffrey Round proves once again that he is a master of detail. His skillful narration and dialogue insist the reader be present, as Dan follows a tortuous trail of clues through Toronto neighbourhoods and beyond. Whether Dan is conversing with his son, fighting an attacker, or battling his personal demons, Round manages to infuse each page with deep humanity.
