Roll
Big city detectives. Southern intrigue. A fortune vanishes on hooves from a ranch where everyone is keeping secrets—even the horses.
It’s 1999, the Millennium looms, and private investigators Gable and McLaren play a tight game. Cash is little more than a whispering rumor. New job leads are as scarce as a clear conscience.
A deadly encounter with a serial killer and its ruinous legal aftermath left the hardened Chicago crime fighters tarnished heroes and their PI agency on the ropes.
Enter Angela Larqué, a wealthy Louisiana ranch owner with a major-league mystery. One of her prized thoroughbreds disappeared under baffling circumstances. The loss of the broodmare, a queen in the Sport of Kings, casts a long shadow over Les Trois Ls Ranch’s storied reputation and bottom line.
Lured by the promise of a hefty payday for taking on the case, Gable and McLaren trade gritty streets for enigmatic bayous along the Gulf Coast. The PIs soon discover the horse’s disappearance is merely the opening bid in a high-stakes game teeming with dark secrets and even darker danger.
Caught between the colliding worlds of elite thoroughbred racehorse breeding and Louisiana’s primeval wilderness, the Chicago detectives find themselves entangled in a complex web of deceit. Friends or enemies? Take a guess. Peril? As certain and unseen as gators, eyeing you from a haunting swamp’s murky depths.
Amidst this intriguing southern backdrop, author Niklas Three crafts a riveting, hard-boiled detective saga. ROLL is an adrenaline-fueled mystery loaded with action, adventure, humor, touches of romance, and double-strength shots of unexpected twists and turns. Prepare to delve deep into the treacherous currents of human nature, where trust can be as elusive as a missing thoroughbred and violence is the answer to everything.

A "horsey" mystery
Quite a change of pace for most of the who-done-it mysteries I read and very enjoyable. This was a Free With Prime book that didn't disappoint. I learned a lot about the thoroughbred breeding business along the way.

moments of greatness
At times I felt like I was reading a wonderful book and then at other times it was like something a 14 yr old had written. Keep writing Nikki’s, but edit better.

This book was difficult one for me. It felt like an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger and an old detective series with elements of a romance novel thrown in for good measure. If that is your genre, this would be the book for you.

Fantastic
I liked the mystery and drama in the book. There is a lot of action. There is also going to be another book because there is still a mystery to finish.

….dram out and took much to get through. The storyline read much more like a Script than a book. 😐
