Furlong Frank

A Frank Rozzani Detective Novel (Frank Rozzani Detective Series Book 6)

By: Don Massenzio

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When private detective Frank Rozzani reluctantly agrees to a trip from Jacksonville to Saratoga Springs with his fiancée Nancy, his loyal dog Lucy, and his jazz-playing partner Jonesy, he expects little more than horses, old friends, and too much bourbon. But Saratoga’s racetrack has always been called the “Graveyard of Champions,” and when a Triple Crown winner named Majestic Thunder arrives for the Travers Stakes, the quiet vacation quickly spirals into something darker. Ghosts of Frank’s past mingle with whispers of sabotage, and what should be a week of rest becomes a test of loyalty, courage, and survival.

As Frank reconnects with high school friends and navigates the rituals of racing culture, he finds himself caught in a swirl of secrets buried beneath Saratoga’s glamour. A shadowy figure stalks the tunnels beneath the grandstand, gamblers whisper of syndicates with millions on the line, and a string of coincidences begins to look like a conspiracy. Meanwhile, Frank’s cop ally Anita Velasquez and Jonesy’s razor-tongued girlfriend Holly bring their own sparks to a crew that’s equal parts comic relief and critical backup. Together they uncover that the stakes extend far beyond a horse race—they cut to greed, power, and the fragility of reputation.

Balancing humor, suspense, and the steady heartbeat of relationships tested under pressure, Furlong Frank is a thriller that mixes jazz, racing lore, and detective grit into a story both intimate and epic. At its core, it asks whether a man haunted by loss can ever find peace, and whether hope is possible in a place where even champions fall.
