Breakage

"Breakage is one of the year's best crime thrillers." - BestThrillers.com (2023 Best Thrillers Book Awards Finalist)
"Forget trips to Vegas! Breakage takes you on a gambling adventure with horse racing, spine-chilling crime, and an intriguingly gifted and dysfunctional family. Readers who love crime, mystery, and thrillers will enjoy this curiously evocative tale." -Los Angeles Book Review
Donnie Chariot is the most gifted thoroughbred horse racing handicapper in the country. He single-handedly sets the morning betting lines across the country. His unique ability to distill data and past racing performances has made him rich and bestowed him with real power.
But when early onset Alzheimer's causes his unique gift to fail him, mobsters from Manhattan to Las Vegas aren't happy. Chariot needs his estranged daughter, who shares the same otherworldly gift with numbers, to help him, but their rocky past keeps them apart.
When Donnie's granddaughter is kidnapped to force his daughter into the game, he controls everyone. Until he doesn't. His mind failing, his daughter getting wise, and wiseguys wiser still, it's a race to save a family before the momentum of the past destroys their future.
