The Barnes & Noble ReviewWhen Allison Willoughby catches her blackjack-dealer boyfriend Boyd doing the naked pretzel with another woman, Ally reinvents the term "bad-hair day." Not only does she trash Boyd's car, she wounds him with a most versatile weapon: a potted cactus. Then, back at the kiln-hot Las Vegas apartment they shared, Allison exacts a final gesture of vengeance. She erases the hard drive on Boyd's computer The Barnes & Noble ReviewWhen Allison Willoughby catches her blackjack-dealer boyfriend Boyd doing the naked pretzel with another woman, Ally reinvents the term "bad-hair day." Not only does she trash Boyd's car, she wounds him with a most versatile weapon: a potted cactus. Then, back at the kiln-hot Las Vegas apartment they shared, Allison exacts a final gesture of vengeance. She erases the hard drive on Boyd's computer and swipes his backup disks - a final touché. Then she blows town. But unbeknownst to her, those files she erased were more than AOL 4.0 and the Duke Nukem Platinum pack. They were ID files and account numbers to an overseas bank. See, what slimebag Boyd's been doing is skimming money from the casino he works at and wire-transferring it to the Caymans. How much money? More than $700,000. Boyd was able to pull this off, of course, only with the help of several accomplices at least a slimy as himself; the most crucial of them is Madeline, his pit boss and the same woman Allison caught him cheating with. Hence, a very hot fuse is lit, and all this in the first 20 pages. For those who don't know, Brian Hodge has long been a skilled writer in the trenches, producing some of the very best dark-suspense novels of the late '80s to mid '90s. If you want some mongo bang for your novel-buying buck, check out such remarkable Hodge works as The Darker Saints, Prototype, and Deathgrip, to name a few. Hodge has always been an author who delivers, and reviewers such as myself have always wondered: When is this guy gonna write a really breakout book?WithWild Horses, he's done exactly that, and it won't take the reader long to see why this book caused a considerable auction frenzy last year and then sold for a hefty advance; Hodge's consummate skills are worth every penny, and in Wild Horses, he has produced one of the most EBooks, Books, Wild-Horses~~Brian-Hodge, 1382548, Wild Horses, Brian Hodge, 0013664530, Cemetery Dance Publications, , , , , Cemetery Dance Publications<

Allison Willoughby has never had much luck with men, but Boyd Dobbins, the ace card-mechanic Casanova, is in a class by himself. He’s a sleaze and a cheater who may be every bit as handsome as he thinks he is, but only half as smart. When Allison’s finally had enough, she grabs her bag and hits the nearest road out of Vegas. Like a rolling stone, no direction home, no plans for tomorrow … and no idea she’s carrying the only key to seven hundred fifty grand in skimmed casino cash.But Boyd knows it. So does Madeline DeCarlo, the over-the-hill showgirl-turned-crooked pit boss with killer legs and the soul of Lizzie Borden. And so does Gunther Manzetti, the chromosomally-challenged psycho mob-enforcer whose favorite method of persuasion involves the creative application of Crystal Drano. They’re all after the unsuspecting Allison, who has decided to head east and, after a lifetime of running away, confront the man whose abuse nearly destroyed her as a child: her father. It’s only hours before the bodies begin to pile up.Caper, chase, mission of retribution and day of reckoning: These are the threads that intertwine to weave this high-energy, fiercely intelligent thriller, as it rips across the mythically vibrant American Southwest like a vicious twister, leaving wreckage in its wake and racing toward a bloody Mississippi showdown.Allison is a strong, sympathetic woman in the direst straits since Joan of Arc, but can take care of herself with a vengeance, and she’s surrounded by as savage and whacked-out a cast of oddballs, eccentrics, and sickos as ever dreamed up by the likes of David Lynch. Yes, there’s plenty of violence and sex and mayhem, but there’s also uproarious humor, richly evocative writing, and deeply probed emotional truths.It’s all delivered in taut, lean-and-mean prose, and careens along like a vintage big-engined Caddy with the top down and the pedal through the metal. Buckle up and revel in the fresh, irresistibly wild-at-heart ride that is Wild Horses. Digital Content>E-books>Fiction>Horror>Horror, Cemetery Dance Publications Digital >16<
