Extract

Atlanta developer Charlie Croker is a big man with a bigger problem. He's built a 40-story monument to himself - complete with mall, cineplex, hotel-and-apartment complex and more - known as Croker Concourse. But he doesn't have the tenants to pay back the half-billion dollars he borrowed to build it and the rest of his empire. So he does what any quail-hunting, bourbon-drinking, mall-building good old boy might do. He invites a prospective client to see one of his stud horses in action.
