Description
With her nearly broke and practically homeless mother about to land on her doorstep, Robyn Guthrie learns that desperation can play havoc with a daughter's scruples. Otherwise, why would she even consider kidnapping a goat and holding it for ransom? Criminal acts don't come naturally to Robyn, but she has an ally in her accountant Mick Hughes, a former jockey with a bum leg and dubious past. Figuring that it's best to take from those who've taken from others, they target Bull Severn, the man who conned Robyn's mother, Lizzie. Bull's Blood is a beautiful thoroughbred favored to win the prestigious Plymouth Million. But he won't be able to race without the companionship of a very special goat, Sassy-and so Robyn and Mick hatch a scheme to kidnap the goat and bring home a hefty ransom. Turns out kidnapping a goat isn't easy, and matters soon escalate into something much bigger than Robyn anticipated. She's got to figure a way out of trouble before she ends up sharing her small apartment with her aging, forgetful mother, her neurotic dog Bix, and a little black goat named Sassy.
