Book description
As Jan Hardy begins to recover from the wounds of the past, the stage
is set for a fine year, with a wedding on the horizon and the appearance
of a mysterious Cherokee Indian owner, Bobby Montana, on the scene.
Things are looking exciting, until a sudden death throws her world into
turmoil . . .
Is the sickness affecting Montana's horses natural, or is there some
more sinister explanation? Is the handsome Irish manager Michael
Finnegan a gift from the gods or a Trojan horse? And what is the painful
secret her father has hidden from her all her life?
Soon, Jan finds not only her personal life but her professional
reputation in tatters, as her mistrust of Montana deepens, and her joy
at beating her old enemy Virginia Gilbert turns to horror after evidence
of doping emerges.
While old rivalries resurface, and old relationships crumble, Jan must
find new friends and allies in her fight to clear her name, protect her
family, and sort out the inheritance . . . Jenny Pitman is well known
as the first woman of racing. She has achieved success in the world's
toughest races and has landed two Grand Nationals. In 1984 she became
the first woman to train a Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, and has also
trained the winners of the Scottish, Welsh and Irish Grand Nationals.
This is her fifth novel.
