The Bluegrass Conspiracy: An Inside Story of Power, Greed, Drugs and Murder
Though some people might find this book to be exciting and sexy and intriguing, please don’t consider it as truth. This book should have been labelled as Fictional, which is what it is. Sally should have interviewed people who really knew the details- maybe spoken to members of the families involved, instead of spouting lies and touting them as truths. As a member of one of the families in the book, I know what I am talking about, and it hurts me deeply the lies that were told, which I can verify, matter of factly, were false.

We have a lot more than just championship basketball, the most exciting two minutes in sports and beautiful horsefarms. What an amazing book!

For those needing a bit more closure than listed previously, after the events listed in this book, Ralph Ross moved to Lawrenceburg, KY and settled into a job as a PI. I had many chances to meet him in my teenage years after reading about him at his favorite location, the now closed Anderson Grill. He truly was a great man and seemed to enjoy helping people. I recall when I learned of his passing, I was inquiring as to his room at Heritage Hall (a local retirement home) when I was given the sad news.
His associate through the latter part of the Conspiracy ordeal, Don Powers is however still living in Anderson County as well, though is much more of a reclusive person.
