Set against the glamorous and cutthroat world of late 19th-century horse racing at Saratoga Springs, Death's Pale Horse is a atmospheric crime novel that places sports journalist Paddy Moretti at the centre of a deadly conspiracy. When a murder rocks the legendary Saratoga racetrack, Moretti — a quick-witted reporter with a nose for trouble — finds himself drawn into a shadowy underworld of gamblers, swindlers, and ruthless killers. Sherburne masterfully chronicles the gilded excess and moral rot lurking beneath the surface of America's most fashionable sporting venue, crafting a mystery that crackles with period detail and suspense. Rich in historical authenticity, the novel presents a vivid portrait of Gilded Age America where fortunes are won and lost on the turn of a hoof, and where the price of curiosity can be death itself.
