As the body of a jockey is found, Harry—and his four‑legged friends—must confront a dangerous killer who favors horse events over fate. Amid the intrigue, Harry faces the challenges of her fortieth birthday, a renewed marriage, and the uncertainty of whether animal instinct can outpace human treachery.
