Fiction
Scotland Yard detective Joe Sandilands is sent to the Truelove’s country estate to investigate an accident – or is it a suspicious death? Lady Truelove has been killed by a stallion in the stables early one morning. But what was Lady Truelove doing with a mysterious package and a dangerous horse in the stables? And there are more secrets to be discovered. Joe is suspicious of widower Sir James Truelove, and that he has too much influence over young Dorcas. Joe hopes to one day marry Dorcas but is unsure of her feelings for him. A Green Man, the death of a young maid years ago, and ancient ways to handle horses all play a part in the mystery as Joe tries to discover – did someone use a stallion as a murder weapon?
