Big Johnson Rides Again
(2026)(The third book in the Mean Streets of New Orleans series)
A novel by Ralph Griffith
Big Johnson is a private investigator who stands just three feet tall and weighs a mere 45 pounds. When he is hired to crack a sophisticated race-fixing scheme, he finds himself thrust into a high-stakes world where he is completely out of his element—literally. Despite having never been on a real horse in his life, Johnson must learn to navigate the track, and he soon discovers he has to mount more than just a merry-go-round; he’s got to tame high-spirited thoroughbreds to get the job done.
The investigation proves far more complicated than anticipated. A jockey can easily throw a race while maintaining a flawless facade of professional effort, leaving behind almost no evidence. But one thing is certain: if someone is pulling the strings, the mob is inevitably involved. If you enjoyed Big Johnson and The Ragin Cajun, you are going to love Big Johnson Rides Again. It is a guaranteed page-turner that will keep you in stitches right up until its wicked final twist.
Three feet of pure gumption and 45 pounds of tenacity. Big Johnson is back, and he's tackling the mob—all without ever having actually ridden a horse in his life!
Hilarious, high-stakes, and completely unique. Watching Big Johnson take on race-fixing mobsters is the wildest ride you'll take all year.
A wickedly funny mystery that delivers laughs and surprises in equal measure. Big Johnson Rides Again is a triumph!
