The peaceful green pastures of a Kentucky horse farm hide a murderous truth.

When the director of a retirement farm for thoroughbred champions is murdered, Becky Dennison teams up with the handsome manager of a neighboring horse breeder’s farm to find her boss’s killer. The amateur sleuths follow a trail of clues that leads them into the intricate society of Kentucky’s elite thoroughbred breeding industry. There they find themselves surrounded by the mint julep set—jealous southern belles and intensely competitive horse breeders—in a high-stakes game of danger, money, and that famous southern pride.
