After the Last Race

About this book

Edgar Garrison spent two decades on the backstretches of the East Coast, working his way up from hot walker to trainer. Racing gave him good memories, but it also took the woman he loved. Now he stands on a wooded ridge above the Century Oaks Race Course in Pennsylvania, studying the grandstand, the clubhouse and the offices on the fifth floor through a pair of powerful binoculars. He is not there to watch the horses. Garrison is planning a daring heist worth two million dollars or more, a chance at a new life, new opportunities and new dignity. Every detail has been rehearsed, every signal agreed, and the big day is set for a Saturday afternoon when the crowds will be at their thickest. Dean Koontz, best known for his gripping suspense fiction, delivers an early crime thriller built on meticulous planning, tension and the pull of the past. Set against the colourful, closed world of the racetrack, with its grooms, trainers, exercise girls and stable pets, After the Last Race is a fast-moving read for fans of heist stories and classic crime fiction.
