Sam and Rachel roll into Richmond on fumes and bad options, looking for a quick score and a place to lay low. Instead, they get Mallick-an old friend of Rachel's with a bruiser's build, a broken heart, and a furious need to get even with the rich horse-farm owner who just tossed him aside. One fake champion thoroughbred, one desperate "investment," and a whole lot of money riding on a lie later, they find themselves in the crosshairs of serious mob cash and a soft-spoken fixer who doesn't believe in second chances. As the con gallops from small-town bars to Virginia horse country, every bad decision narrows the track, and the only way out might be to ride like hell and hope they're not the ones put down at the finish line. Ride Like Hell by S.A. Cosby is a hard-charging, Southern horse-country installment of A Grifter's Song, the crime fiction series created by Frank Zafiro.
