A veterinarian and amateur sleuth, Gail McCarthy attends a equine seminar during which one of her colleagues is murdered, a case that tickles her curiosity and leads her on a trail leading uncomfortably close to home. Crum endows Gail with an endearing love of animals, a warm appreciation of the western landscape and an affable boyfriend who lets her call the shots. Including a thrilling cinematic chase scene on horseback, it all adds up to a satisfying mystery with lots of heart." Publishers Weekly "As usual, the pace is brisk; the reader becomes involved early on and travels at a high lope throughout. Crum obviously knows the equine industry and it shows.
