The Butcher Boys: Part Three: What Came Next (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684711345)

Readers will welcome this final volume, Part III, as it takes our heroes, the Dwyer brothers, from the peak of their success into the complicated world of East Coast racing in the 1890s. As Mike and Phil try to keep greedy gambling bosses from making unfair profits off Dwyer racetracks, they run foul of provincial laws and fickle public opinion. One brother even attempts to the escape the constraints of legal battles by attempting to invade England with his stable. With their high profile status, every Dwyer horse, every win, every jockey, and every trainer comes under scrutiny. No longer young plungers, but seasoned businessmen, the brothers are relentlessly wooed by admirers and coerced by crooks. Through it all, their bond never falters. Readers will delight to read of the next generation of young Dwyer men eloping across America with their sweethearts, not chastised for their impulsive natures but congratulated on their choice of pretty brides.
