Death by Stolen Stallion: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery
About Death by Stolen Stallion: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery
A missing showjumper. A panicked stable manager. And a dead man in an empty pasture.
On San Malvino, the elite equestrian estates operate in their own quiet bubble. So when a million-dollar stallion vanishes in the middle of the night, the estate's desperate manager doesn't call the cops. Instead, he sneaks off to hire Rafa, hoping to quietly recover the prized animal before the owner ever finds out it's gone.
Rafa takes the off-the-books job expecting to track a broken gate or a spooked runaway. But a few miles into the rugged hills, he finds the horse grazing peacefully in a remote clearing next to a dead body. The only clue left behind is a second set of hoof prints.
The discreet world of island horse breeding blows wide open the second Mendoza tapes off the pasture. With a killer riding off into the hills and a terrified client refusing to give the police the full story, it's up to Rafa, Reg, Alex, and Bombay to follow the trail and figure out exactly what happened that night. Welcome to San Malvino.
