Michael Walsh resigned from the Indianapolis Police Department in March, having served almost seven years, the last eight months as a rookie Detective in the elite Robbery & Homicide Division. In a raid on a residence to serve arrest warrants on a gang of vicious armed robberies and murder suspects on December 11th, his partner-mentor, Detective Sergeant Jack Lovell is gunned down. A two and one half hours gun battle ensued between the barricaded suspects and police. Walsh's wife left him, not able to handle the stress of being a cop's wife.
Walsh relocates to Miami, Florida with his two German Shepherds. Soon he obtains the position of Chief Investigator for a prominent criminal defense law firm. In his third year with the firm, and having three murder cases under his belt, his firm is hired by the widow of a winning horse racing jockey. Eight years after the popular jockey was murdered in a small western Kentucky town, his widow and son-in-law are arrested and charged with the crime. He and his assistant, Rosa Cabillo are dispatched to Kentucky to investigate the case and dig up evidence to prove the client's innocence. THE JOCKEY'S JUSTICE, based on a true story, will take you on a roller-coaster ride into the world of the Sport of Kings, the underbelly of the racing industry, involving race fixing, illegal gambling, the Chicago Mob, inept cops and a prosecutor with tunnel vision.
