The stallion was beautiful, a living testimony to the beauty and nobility of horses. Now he lies dead in his stable in Nelson County, Virginia. When a heavily-insured horse dies, it's up to equine insurance agent Connie Holt to determine any foul play. Standing in the dead stallion's stall, Connie is sure this was murder-but can she prove it? Finding the culprit-and even the cause of death-proves difficult, especially when other Nelson County horses start showing up dead, each case seemingly unrelated to the other. Making matters more complicated is the small world in which horse lovers and breeders live and work. If someone is killing horses, chances are good it's someone Connie knows-an associate, a client, or even a friend. Meanwhile, Connie has her own problems. Her unrequited, impossible love for married vet Jase Tyree continues to torment her, while she's forced to fend off the increasingly aggressive advances of lewd state cop Jack Wampler. But Connie doesn't have time for Wampler's nonsense. Horses are dying, and if she can't find the killer, more will follow. The cost of success, however, may come at a high price.
