The Garden of Eden

by Max Brand

Overview

Race track gambler Ben Connor knows horses. The day he first saw an Eden Gray run, he knew it was fast enough to earn a lot of money. So why not find the reclusive deaf mute who owns the Eden Grays, buy one, enter it in races and watch his fortune grow?

The plans seem solid, but they're stymied when the owner refuses to sell. The gambler must now choose: forget his scheme, or plunge deeper to see it come true. "

A clever and intriguing ride around track in Max Brand's inventive mind." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
