Secretariat Reborn, A Christian Roberts Thriller.
2014 Silver President’s Award for Best Adult Fiction in Florida Presented by the Florida Authors and Publishers Association.
Christian Roberts, a easy-going sailor of twenty-five, lives aboard his sloop on Sarasota Bay and makes a living, renting out small boats to the tourists. He visits his estranged and ill father, an Ocala horse trainer and is given a red thoroughbred colt. Fulfilling his father’s dying wish and dream, Christian promises to race the horse, a promise that will forever change and possibly end his life. He enters the underworld of horse racing and encounters crooked trainers, mobsters, and wealthy sheiks while being stalked by a deranged ex-girlfriend. But his biggest problem is the colt, a clone of Secretariat, fraudulently registered and illegal to race.
