ALL HAT
by Brad Smith
Published by Penguin
Texans have a phrase "All hat and no cattle." It applies to someone who dresses and talks the part, but is only a wannabe cowboy. In this novel, Ray Dokes is a ball player fresh out of jail who does walk the talk. He’s looking for revenge, and sets up a scheme involving an under-rated horse and a day at the races. One reviewer called All Hat “a novel about hope, redemption and getting even. Not necessarily in that order.”
Read by John Cleland. Produced by Ann Jansen.
