When a famous dressage horse goes missing in the middle of the night, and the bodies of an unknown man and local stable boy are found dead outside the horse's empty stall, the blame is immediately pinned on a gorgeous amiable stallion covered in the victims' blood. Eddy calls upon Irene and Joe's assistance as the stallion's handler swears by his, and his horse's, innocence. The trio take a trip to the country to navigate the intricate bond between horses and their trainers and discover layers of betrayal and secrecy coating this glamorous sport.

In book one of this series, we met the brash and bold, silly and sassy Lady Armstrong, who wouldn't let a simple thing like death stop her from seeking the help of the great detective in solving the mystery of her violent and untimely demise. Further adventures followed, and now in book two, she and her dog Pookie have become frequent companions to Holmes, Watson, and yes, Mrs. Hudson.

With two weeks in a new home, and a solved murder, under their belt, Irene and Joe are eager for another mystery. When Eddy brings them a curious case involving a jumbled circular message, they jump in with both feet. But as they attempt to crack the cipher, they uncover a dark past of a seemingly innocent young woman and a cover-up that may put them both in grave danger.
