Having recently lost her teaching job due to budget cutbacks, Mary Malone, a thirty-something single gal, finds herself with limited resources and few options. Thankfully, a last-minute decision to move into her brother Matt's, apartment with her widowed aunt leads her to accept an assignment at the Bar X Ranch, a case intended for her brother. After taking the job, Mary soon realizes she has several major obstacles to overcome: her zero knowledge of what a PI job all entails, an irrational fear of horses, and deciding which of the three deceiving men she's come in contact with is actually, a good guy.
Marlene Chabot has woven a tale of mystery, intrigue, deception, and murder which will have you holding your breath - afraid of what new danger lies in wait.
