Jockey Nikki Latrelle gets the chance of a lifetime – to ride the favorite in a stakes race – only to have her dream destroyed when a mysterious intruder kills her mount the night before the race. Evil is at work at Maryland’s Laurel Park race track, and when Nikki stumbles over the body of a gunshot victim, she quickly becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Framed and facing a possible murder rap, Nikki is ruled-off the track. Even deprived of job and income, she cannot abandon a mistreated, ill-tempered racehorse doomed to the slaughter house. Nikki and the filly wind up at a seedy stable with a motley group of felons, drunks, and drug-addicts. With unexpected help from a fashion-conscious wholesale meat-seller, a recovering addict, and an ancient groom, Nicky follows a crooked trail of insurance scam and betting fraud. But with the odds against her, can she clear her name – and put the real criminals behind bars?

About the Author:
Sasscer Hill, a former Maryland racehorse breeder, trainer, and rider, uses the sport of kings as a backdrop for her mysteries. Her "vivid descriptive"prose about greed, evil, heart, and courage propelled her novels to multiple award nominations, including an Agatha, a Macavity, and the Dr. Tony Ryan Best in Racing Literature Award. Her new series about Thoroughbred Racing Pritective Bureau agent Fia McKee will debut in 2016. The second book in this "Fia McKee" series won First Place in the Carrie McCray 2015 Competition for First Chapter of a Novel. Hill earned a BA in English Literature from Franklin and Marshall College and now lives with her husband, a dog, and a cat in Aiken, SC, where she still rides horses.
Review:
"If you miss the late Dick Francis's racetrack thrillers, you'll be intrigued by Sasscer Hill's Racing From Death"- The Washington Post, August 29, 2012
"Sasscer, the honor comes in your accomplishments and talent, and you should take great pride in such a magnificent trifecta. Congratulations!!! Well done. Dick Francis lives!"- Steve Haskin, Senior Correspondent, Blood-Horse. Former National Correspondent, Daily Racing Form, winner of eighteen awards for excellence in turf writing.
"If you love Dick Francis, you'll love Sasscer Hill. If you don't love Dick Francis, you'll still love Sasscer Hill! This twisty and fast-paced page turner is cleverly plotted and genuinely entertaining--Hill's insider knowledge and love of the horse-racing world shines through on every page. Sasscer knows her stuff!"- Hank Phillippi Ryan. Agatha, Anthony, Mary Higgins Clark, and Macavity Award-winning author
"New novel about a Laurel Park jockey is a wild ride. While compared to Dick Francis and Sue Grafton, Hill's work reflects her respect for horse racing and the influence of the late Walter Farley. A page-turner, the book's sentences are short and crisp. The action comes off as authentic."- Sandra McKee, Baltimore Sun, April, 2012
