Welcome to a three book series based on the kidnapping of twin
infants that took place twenty five years ago. There's no
denying that
this baby girl and boy disappeared. There was also a ransom
paid.
The babies never made it back safely to their home. And
candidly the
road to discovery was at a dead end. The babies' father has
for all
these years kept up hope that his children were alive and
well. Where
they were -- well that's where the road to nowhere begins.
No one
knows anything conclusive. People were charged. One man died on
way to becoming the person most likely to have been perhaps the
mastermind of this horrific event that candidly destroyed
this family.
The mother of the twins has been institutionalized all these
years living
in her own hell. And public opinion has never gone passed the
probability that the man and this woman were in cahoots. Okay do I have your attention yet? DARK HORSE by B.J. Daniels is book one of the Whitehorse
Montana: the McGraw Kidnapping series. In each of the three
books
Daniels gives you still another clue or look into the events
of that
fateful evening. The list of suspects seems to grow
exponentially with
each and every page. There are times you are pretty sure
you've got
it. And then B.J. Daniels steps back in with still another
possibility and
you are off and running again. DARK HORSE has an amazing cast of characters, some good, some
bad, some conflicted and some pathetic. The power of
suggestion can
be powerful -- no pun intended. In fact there is nothing
comical about
the premise of DARK HORSE. Twin infants are kidnapped -- no
real
viable clues and yet justice was meted out. Family is torn
apart and
each and every person is the walking dead. No one has
managed to
more past that night. For successful crime novelist Nikki St. James coming to the
McGraw
ranch at the request of the patriarch Travers is having an
unusual
effect on her. There is something in the wind that turns her
blood to
ice. And Nikki is quick to acknowledge time is not on her side. It would appear that there are definitely those that would
rather Nikki
not use McGraw kidnapping as the focus of her next crime
novel. In
fact some of the creepy chilling feelings that Nikki manages
to shake
off are beginning to get too real to dismiss. There are
definitely forces
possibly in the McGraw household that have much to hide.
Someone
or perhaps more than one person has something that they
would just
like to remain unknown. Something that they have
successfully hidden
for the last twenty five years. Something Travers and his
grown sons
Cull, Ledger and Boone have had no inkling about. Someone immediately lets Nikki know that they just don't
want her at
the McGraw ranch. Small incidents seems to quickly escalate
into
larger more dangerous threats and yet the culprit manages to
stay just
outside of suspicion. But Nikki has attracted the attention
of Cull the
eldest McGraw son. And although like his brothers would just
rather
attention to their sadness diminish with time, Cull realizes
that perhaps
the danger still exists and he now couples with this very
brave almost
foolish writer in her zeal to get to the core of this tragedy. Wow -- are you on board yet? Well by the middle of DARK HORSE
you realize that B.J. Daniels is going to need way more room
to get to
the bottom of this terrible incident. DARK HORSE won't be
able to
finally solve this mystery so we will be treated to two more
books in
this series.
SUMMARY
New York Times bestselling author B.J. Daniels takes readers back to Whitehorse, Montana, with two great stories of suspense and two cowboys who won't be riding alone for long DARK HORSE For twenty-five years, the case of the McGraw twins kidnapping has remained unsolved. As the eldest son, Cull oversees the McGraw horse ranch, wary of prying eyes. So when true-crime writer Nikki St. James comes forward with new information, Cull can't believe his father invites her onto the compound. His family has suffered enough—he's not about to let St. James snoop and ruin them completely. But Nikki finds the eldest McGraw's protectiveness as endearing as it is aggravating. After all, this case is personal to her, too… And her secrets can set the truth free—if they don't destroy the McGraws first. THE MYSTERY MAN OF WHITEHORSE Whitehorse has never seen a man like Bridger Duvall before. As much as the rugged stranger keeps to himself, he's sure got the whole town talking. Laci Cavanaugh thinks she might unravel the town's biggest mystery by working for him. But business quickly becomes personal when a murder divides the town. As Christmas closed in, can Bridger and Laci find common ground before the killer strikes again? Whitehorse, Montana: The McGraw Kidnapping
