What do a former gang leader and a horse trainer have in common? And who buried the body behind the barn?
What do a former gang leader and a horse trainer have in common? And who buried the body behind the barn?
The answers are in Horse Power, the captivating new Kyle Shannon mystery by Linda Mickey.
Leaving the corporate world behind, Kyle Shannon accepts a position at an equine training facility working for a former gang leader. When a skeleton is uncovered behind the barn and a fire threatens the animals, Kyle sees suspects more skittish than their horses. After the accidental discovery of a clue lands her in the hospital and someone else is brutally beaten, Kyle knows there’s a murderer out there who isn’t horsing around.
Although in Mickey’s third novel, the suspects all wear boots instead of loafers and drive pickup trucks instead of BMW’s, Mickey is in her element. As a former equestrian, Mickey knows horses. As a former corporate manager, Mickey knows business. In Horse Power, she brings the two worlds together in a Veronica Mars-meets-Black Beauty story of murder and its consequences.
“Horses and mystery. Both are part of me,” said Mickey recently. “What better way to combine two of my favorite things than to feature horses in a Kyle Shannon adventure?”
