  Desperate Jack Doyle accepts a sketchy job which leads to a deadly game of fixing horse races and murder—of the four-legged kind . . . One-time amateur boxer Jack Doyle, an irreverent and rebellious advertising account representative, goes to work one fine Chicago day and finds his desk—and his job—both gone. A two-time loser at the marriage game as well, Doyle, usually ultra-confident, fishes himself out of a bottle to take stock, realizing, "with a thumping finality, that Life sure as hell did have his number and was crunching it". At loose ends, Doyle accepts a most unusual offer from an acquaintance, Moe Kellman, "furrier to the Mob", to fix a horse race. The context of making the deal, a Cubs game at storied Wrigley Field, sets the tone for the drama that follows. Thus begins a chain of events that will lead the FBI to Doyle's door where they "co-opt" him into a quest after people who are maiming or killing thoroughbred horses for their insurance values. Their number one target is a loathsome media mogul who can't bear to lose at anything. Built upon factual events, spiced with satire, and peppered throughout with engaging loonies, Blind Switch is a noteworthy first novel with a hero forced to ask in its ultimate line, "Where have I gone right?"

  📏 Knitting instructor and precision expert Swatch Sterling is teaching a masterclass on perfect gauge when the class's most meticulous student—a notorious perfectionist who corrects other knitters' work—is found dead in her studio, pinned under a mountain of sabotaged gauge swatches. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Swatch notices the swatches have been deliberately mis-measured and the victim's project notes contain suspicious stitch counts that don't match standard patterns. With her teaching reputation on the line and the knitting community in tension, Swatch must measure twice and investigate once. Assisted by her advanced knitting students and the handsome textile standards inspector analyzing fabric consistency, Swatch uncovers a scheme involving pattern manipulation, yarn substitution fraud, and a plot to undermine knitting publications. From suspicious tension inconsistencies that reveal intentional mismeasurement to fiber content that doesn't match the yarn label, every swatch tells a story. But when Swatch discovers the victim was systematically altering published patterns to make them fail, she realizes the killer is protecting knitting accuracy more valuable than any published design. With the national knitting conference approaching and the real saboteur still testing boundaries, Swatch must knit together the proof before her own methods get permanently cast off.
