Let It Ride (Reprint ed.)

"Jay Cronley is surely one of the funniest writers alive!" —Evan Hunter

"Cronley has a dead-on ear for the American cliché." —Los Angeles Times Book Review

“He is the kind of writer who, because there is no one else quite like him, could easily become an addiction.” —The New York Times Book Review

Trotter never comes out ahead at the racetrack. But maybe that’s because his lucky day is still just around the corner.
One day, to the surprise of his down-and-out buddies, Trotter’s luck changes, and he finds himself in the boxes with the VIPs. But should he quit while he’s ahead? Or should he… LET IT RIDE 

Another Jay Cronley title you're sure to enjoy is Funny Farm, a story of city folk who find that the dream life in the country can be a bit of a nightmare.
