Synopsis

Sexy Tennessee PI Heather McClure hunts the vicious killer of champion-show-horse owner Larry "Spooky" Green. A rival horseman is charged and Heather reluctantly investigates the grisly crime on behalf of an equine industry already scandalized by corruption and cruelty.Heather is the bastard heiress of a country playboy, herself an ex-stripper and ex-FBI agent, now employing brains and allure, straddling the law and organized crime in her own quests for justice-and vengeance. The Green case pits her against power and paranoia, illegal aliens and meth addicts, an impassioned animal-rights activist, and a brutal trainer. And when an ex-cop's dismembered corpse is found down a well on a snowy night, Heather's former FBI colleagues target a racketeering probe at her clients. The lead agent bringing her in from the cold, eager to nab both a cop killer, and a dinner date.All the while, Heather frets she's working the wrong side, that she might have to bring to "justice" her least unsavory suspect. This conflict draws her hotly into the plights of three equine victims. Victims of "soring"-the torturous, sometimes lethal application of chemicals to the limbs of show horses. To enhance performance.
