Racing from Death: A Nikki Latrelle Racing Mystery - Softcover

"New novel about a Laurel Park jockey is a wild ride. While compared to Dick Francis and Sue Grafton, Hill's work reflects her respect for horse racing and the influence of the late Walter Farley. A page-turner, the book's sentences are short and crisp. The action comes off as authentic." - Sandra McKee, Baltimore Sun, April, 2012

"Sasscer Hill has hit her stride with her second, and hopefully one of many more, race track mysteries, 'Racing from Death'. A page turner that does not disappoint." - Martha Barbone, Horse of the Delaware Valley, April, 2012

"This is a major new talent and the comparisons to Dick Francis are not hyperbole.” --Margaret Maron, New York Times Best selling author and winner of the Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards.

“If you miss the late Dick Francis’s racetrack thrillers, you’ll be intrigued by Sasscer Hill’s Racing From Death” – The Washington Post, August 29, 2012

 "Sasscer Hill brings us another exciting racehorse mystery  . . . the real asset of this excellent series is the hard-riding, hard-partying Nikki herself. Spirited to a fault, she doesn't suffer fools gladly . . . an utterly unique take on racetrack thrillers." - Betty Webb, Mystery Scene Magazine, Summer Issue, 2012
