Description: Sonny Anderson was a jockey, a good jockey. No, he never won the Kentucky Derby but he was Marc McPhee's friend. And he was murdered. Murderers, whoever they may be, will find out McPhee takes offence when you murder his best friend. McPhee sets out to avenge his friend any way he can, even if it means an alliance with the Mafia. In addition to revenge, it's also a chance for McPhee to find himself again and to find the happiness he lost so long ago. He comes close to accomplishing all his intentions ... but if you're keeping score ... remember ... close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Notes: Local author C.L. McDaniel is a former television and political writer who at one time owned thoroughbred race horses. Coming from Kentucky and the home of the Kentucky Derby played an important part in finding the background for this novel.
