From very humble beginnings starting with the death of his age at age three and due to his loving family, Frank Ryan understood the value of hard work and the challenges so many people like him faced in life. That understanding led Frank to dedicate his life to public service as a volunteer. In March 2008, he began his service to the Good Shepherd Services, a residential treatment facility for children facing challenges in their lives. This love of the mission for children led Frank to walk 2,806 miles across America in 2014 to raise the awareness of the needs of children with emotional and behavioral issues and for developmentally disabled children. Little did he know at the time that he started his journey that his life would be changed by what he learned. He saw firsthand the wonderful people of our nation who challenged him, encouraged him and supported him in his efforts to help children in need. It was a journey of love, a journey of prayer, and a journey of tranquility. His journey convinced him that we can make a difference and we can solve this problem.

THE HIGHER THE STAKES, THE DEADLIER THE RISK . . . THE BRAND NEW THRILLER FROM THE MASTER OF THE RACING THRILLER - NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK & EBOOK. ______________________ Theo Jennings is a young auctioneer at the Thoroughbred sales ring in Newmarket. The October yearling sales are where the big money exchanges hands in frenzied auctions: millions of Guineas paid for horses that are as yet unnamed, untested, and have never taken a step on the track. It's the greatest gamble in all of horseracing, and one that can end in ruin. Theo has just made the biggest sale of his life, when he overhears a secret conversation between the two bidders - can they really have colluded to fix the price of his big sale? When that same horse is found dead the next morning, he has no choice but to investigate, even against the wishes of his boss. But the more he uncovers, the less he can trust the people around him. The higher the stakes, the greater the risk. And in the bloodstock game, the ultimate price can be murder . . .
