L.A.Winners

SUMMARY

Sandy Bonner comes to Lenny's office. There is a notice on the door:L.SAMUEL-PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.

Sandy tells lenny about The Chief, her racehorse. The horse has disappeared.

Lenny wants $200 a day to find the horse. He owes Herman, from the office next door,$1000, and he has no money. He needs a job.

A bad man has taken The Chief. The man's name is Ventanas. He owns a racehorse called Golden Dragon. But Golden Dragon has never won a race. The Chief, however, was one of the best racehorses before it retired.

Ventanas puts The Chief in a race. But he says that The Chief is Golden Dragon. The betting shops give good odds on Golden Dragon because the horse has never won a race. They give odds of 50-to-1. The Chief/Golden Dragon wins the race, so Ventanas will be very rich. He bet $100000 dollars on Golden Dragon.

Lenny only has $20. He bets on Golden Dragon and wins $1000. He pays Herman back.

After the race, Ventanas plans to kill Sandy and The Chief. He will have $5 million and no one will know his secret.

Lenny saves The Chief. He ride the horse from the racetrack to Sandy's ranch. He stops Ventanas before he can kill Sandy. He calls the police. Ventanas is arrested. The ending is happy for the L.A.Winners.

IMPRESSION

I read this level's book for the first time. I felt this book is too long. But this story is very interesting. While I read this book, I was very excited. I think that Lenny is bravery. Because he try to solve the Sandy's offer in spite of exposing himself to danger. I become to like Lenny's personality.
