The novel would later become one of her most popular published pieces, alongside the novels In a Lonely Place and The Expendable Man, among many others.

The novel Ride the Pink Horse was written in the noir fiction style. It has many dark and mysterious characteristics. Hughes's writing style emanated throughout the novel demonstrated by the sense of urgency and suspense that held steady over the entire course of the story.

## Synopsis

The story illustrated the efforts of Sailor confronting Douglass, a wealthy ex-senator, about the murder of the senator's wife. Sailor, growing up under Douglass’ wing, became a henchman of sorts, who often carried out Douglass’ dirty work. Sailor knew that it was the senator that ordered for his wife's murder, and since the death of the senator's wife, Douglass continuously paid off Sailor in order to keep him quiet, but now, Sailor is back for more money. Douglass, after retiring from the senate, is vacationing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, so Sailor decides to confront him there. Upon his arrival, he finds that there is a fiesta in town and with all the commotion, Sailor does not have a place to stay overnight. He is also greeted by the head of the homicide bureau in Chicago, McIntyre, who knows a lot about Douglass and his dirty past. Along his adventure, Sailor befriends a few locals, a man named Pancho and a young 14-year-old girl, who help him through his journey.

## Book to film
