2 total works
Deciding to pursue his boat, Virgil becomes embroiled with captivating single mother, Dusty, who knows far too much about the cocaine hidden inside the cylinder, and an old drug deal gone sour. Faced with a dealer who desperately needs his cylinder back, a murderous sidekick, and a wild card crazy Russian cowboy, Virgil and Dusty find themselves trapped in the middle and desperate for a way out.
In upstate New York, Virgil Cain is drawing hay when two movie scouts appear from nowhere and offer him $500 a day to use his horses in their film. In need of cash, Virgil reluctantly pockets the money, but the chaotic movie set soon proves more trouble than it's worth.
With a talent-challenged director vying for authority with a lecherous investor and casino owner called Ronnie Red Hawk, the atmosphere is tense. But when the film's leading lady turns up dead, Virgil realises that far more is at stake than the making of a blockbuster movie. While his natural inclination is to leave the whole bunch to stew in their own juices, he suspects that charming ten-year-old actress Georgia is next, and he just can't let that happen, even if it does throw him into a world of danger.
