Narrated in real time by characters in the drama, Riding the Fantastics is about the death and the life of Boy Man Hardin, last King of the Crackers in south Georgia's old herding culture. This is the second of Oscar Patton's Satilla County novels and is both a murder mystery and a story of love, courage, and the triumph of the human spirit. Multiple twists and turns take the reader on a romp through a murder investigation, a revenge plot, and revelations about character and paternity. Who was the legendary Boy Man Hardin--cowboy, lover, devoted friend, formidable adversary? Who were these...

This is a work of fiction inspired by a true story. Sheriff George Winters is caught in the middle of a long running feud between south Georgia neighbors. He senses the conflict is coming to a head, but he does not suspect nor can he imagine the horror that erupts. In arresting and helping to prosecute those accused of a double murder, the sheriff agonizes over questions of duty and friendship, and his agony only increases once the trial is over. Meanwhile, he must deal with the insecurity and jealousy threatening his relationship with the beautiful Viola Fletcher.
