Présentation de l'éditeur

Robert McKinley is a tough, intelligent, and short fused detective for the DA's office in Lexington, Kentucky. When his nephew is brutally stabbed while shopping with his fiancée, he hits the road running. The case starts with a string of untimely deaths of horses in the Lexington area. The insurance company is screaming fraud, and the owners are screaming for protection. Robert's nephew was poking around for some clue to the deaths when he was knifed from behind. "I warned you to stay out of it, and now you will, for good." was what he heard from the assailant as the knife was thrust completely through his chest. The case takes a turn for the worse when the suspects began to drop from the list of the living, to that of the dead. Murder, fraud, theft, and kidnapping head the list of crimes performed by a man that has already died once. How many lives does he have left?

Biographie de l'auteur

Horses have been a passion for over 30 years, and with show comes travel. As one travels around the country, the flavor of different regions changes with every mile. Story telling has always been a fancy of mine, as well as pretending to be different people, in different situations. My series of Robert McKinley books will take you around the country, and into a realm of behavior that I hope you never experience in your travels. I have enjoyed producing the novels, and I hope you enjoy experiencing them in the comfort, and safety, of your own home.
