Racing Can Be Murder
Racing Can Be Murder is a collection of nineteen stories written by some of today’s best mystery writers. All the authors are members of the Speed City Indiana Chapter of Sisters in Crime. This delightful collection revolves around the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race and the festivities that take place in Indianapolis each merry month of May. All the writers approach their individual stories in their own unique way. There are stories that involve the race track, the drivers, a Snakepit Ball of the future, and a ‘Snake Pit’ murder discovered by a radio host on a late-night call-in show. One author uses historic Tuckaway as the setting for a pre-race party; another, a bar in Speedway to examine drivers of the past. The 500 Festival Parade, the 500 Festival princesses, an early air show staged at the Speedway, Pole Day, booth volunteers, the museum, the land that surrounds the track, and the beautiful escorts hired by those with no party dates round out the variety of subjects. Tucked between each story are true facts about the 500 Mile Race. Racing can be dangerous, and in some cases, it can be murder.
