Silk Chaser, by Peter Klein
Reviewer: Fifi Lim
"THE adventure continues for John Punter, professional gambler and reluctant PI, in the third of Klein's racing-based crime series. This time, Punter has found romance with the socialite daughter of a radio shock-jock. While this has affected his unting, it didn't stop him being dragged into hunting down a killer stalking female strappers. Part of the fun of reading Klein is getting to know original hero Punter."
Peter Klein's is Australia's leading racing crime author. His novels have been hailed as "Dick Francis written by Lawrence Block with a dash of Robert G Barrett." Klein has spent a lifetime in horseracing, working for some of Australia's top trainers such as TJ Smith and Bart Cummings, and was a one-time strapper of champion galloper Kingston Town. He now works in the media as Racing Manager of Australian Associated Press.

Silk Chaser sold to Czech Republic
Delighted to get the news that my latest racing crime novel, Silk Chaser, will be translated into Czech. Didn't realise they have any racing there till I made some enquiries. To my surprise, I found they have 13 racecourses including flat and jumping races. Readers also have a strong interest in the racing/crime genre. Might have to take a trip over one of these days. Who knows, could even set a plot there for one of my books...
