It takes a cool head to outwit both sides of the law. Ben Hemmings, barn-builder for Atlanta's elite, has been sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Facing ten years and the possibility of losing his family forever, he cuts a deal with the FBI to recover a stolen collection of priceless show-horse breeding samples. But to get them, Ben must deceive mob boss and fellow inmate Rollie Shore -- a molten-tempered man with a plan of his own. From the grim landscape of a federal prison to the rarefied world of southern horse breeding, David Ramus' On Ice is a gritty, thunderous page-turner that follows an innocent man on a terrifying steeplechase of bone-chilling brutality and betrayal.
