Frank Keith, sheriff of Conroy County, embarks on the strangest day of his life, and you ride along. Before a background of political upheaval, economic uncertainty, and a slew of disappeared family pets, Keith must puzzle out mysterious speeding super cars, a yard full of gore, and monsters among the crops. Regardless of what comes at him, Keith knows this day defines his whole existence. Is that existence a mystery? Is it a horror? Or is it something far darker: the bizarre, spiraling crash into the thorns of everyday life? For when nightmares merge with the commonplace, when the commonplace becomes surreal, how can a man realize the fate his life must take him to? Ridealong is Everyman in the instant before awakening. It is heartwarming, frightening, funny and grim. It is life, and the razor's edge of opportunity before life deserts its young. It's also a damned fine cop story.
