Instead of a proper second honeymoon, the newly remarried
Harry and Fair Haristeen leave cozy Crozet, Virginia, for
Shelbyville, Kentucky, site of the famous saddlebred horse
show. There they’ll visit dear friends Joan Hamilton and
Larry Hodge and enjoy a week among some of the finest
horses, trainers, and riders in the country.
But soon
after they arrive, events veer mysteriously–and
murderously–off course. First, Joan’s ruby and sapphire
horsehead heirloom pin is stolen from her private box at the
fairgrounds. Next, a young film star’s prize three-gaited
mare disappears into thin air. There is no lack of suspects,
from hotheaded trainers and jealous rivals to vicious
ex-spouses. Then a body is found flagrantly murdered and
it’s obvious to Harry that someone at Shelbyville is sending
a strong message: winning is only secondary–first prize is
survival.
As Harry searches for clues, rediscovers
life as a married woman, and deals with her upcoming
fortieth birthday, her four-legged detective friends are
already on the case. But is animal instinct any match for
human depravity? Especially with two humans to protect and a
killer on the prowl?
