This book was released on 2013-07-10. Wild Ride available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. You would think that finding a dead drug dealer who was involved in the murder of a former classmate would be enough closure, maybe even a little satisfying, but not for David Baker. He wants more. In his heart, he knows he cannot stop the flow of drugs up and down Interstate 71, but he knows that he can make a difference, even if that means joining a biker gang and going deeply undercover to find the kingpins. Take the wild ride with David Baker as he totally immerses himself into the gritty motorcycle gang known as the New Sons, where he sees more drugs and partying than he has ever seen while on the force. Find out if his internal moral compass is working properly or if he bends the laws and his promises too far. He knows that drugs played a role in the murder of his high school friend, Peggy, all those years ago. He owes it to her memory and himself to find out just what that role was, but is he in too deep?

Young minds will leave awestruck and eager to chase their own wild ride.”—Emily Calandrelli, host of Netflix’s Emily’s Wonder Lab “It may be hard to believe while I’m gravity-bound on my bedroom floor, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time on Earth, it’s that as long as you keep saying yes, everything is possible,” says Arceneaux.
