Rode to Death

by Susan Union

Equine journalist Randi Sterling bonds easily with the horses she writes about—it’s men she has a hard time trusting. When she receives a proposition from Jaydee Hill, her charismatic college flame, to move to his ranch in San Diego’s wealthy Rancho del Zorro, she is torn. Jaydee is offering her the life she’s always dreamed of, but he burned her once before. Is he a changed man or is she heading down a trail of trouble?
Desire and curiosity win her mental coin toss, but she arrives to discover—surprise! Jaydee is already married. She stumbles upon Jaydee’s dead bride in a champion stallion’s stall and is later horrified when her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon.
Can Randi solve this murder in horseman’s paradise or will she become the killer’s next victim?

“I love a good mystery and this book fit the bill. The characters are interesting and engaging. The plot is fast moving with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end.”

“Susan Union has written a smart, well plotted story that will surprise you at the end. Her characters are well drawn, sympathetic, and quite believable. The descriptions transport the reader smack dab in the middle of the horse breeding world, with all its rich textures.”
