When a thoroughbred named Pink Dahlia wins a race she shouldn't have stood a chance in, Agent Ted Hogan of the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau launches an investigation into what looks like a fixed race—but the truth proves far darker than simple fraud. As Hogan pieces together evidence of foul play involving a missing exercise boy and a rigged stimulant, he uncovers a criminal ring that's willing to commit murder to keep their scheme quiet. With the fixers plotting their next move and another horse being primed for a suspicious win, Hogan races against time to catch the crooks before they strike again.

Blackmail Photography
8 pp · crime

A news photographer named Weldon witnesses a mob murder and captures it on film, putting him in the crosshairs of gangster Frank Falcone—a ruthless criminal who's evaded the law for over a decade. When Falcone sends his enforcer Rocky to silence the photographer, Weldon must flee and go underground, setting in motion a deadly game of cat and mouse that will test whether he can outwit "the Devil" himself. With blackmail photographs at the center of a dangerous cat-and-mouse game, this crime tale explores how a single moment of evidence can become either a man's insurance policy or his death sentence.
