Summary

A galloping loose horse on a dark November dawn threatens trouble for Helen Murray's thriving livery business. An unknown hand has opened the door of a very special stable and the valuable star of the yard is running wild.


Who has tried to steal him? No time now to search for the culprit, for with half a dozen horses due to hunt that day, the stable staff are at full stretch. Clients pay high fees for their thrills and spills, and though hunting foxes is taboo, class warriors and saboteurs use dangerous methods to disrupt trail-hunts with hounds, and galloping full speed over unknown obstacles produces heart-stopping moments before the huntsman blows for Home.


A shortcut across forbidden territory leads to a painful loss for Helen, and worse follows as a brutal double murder rocks her world. Brutal – and inexplicable. Is it a former client with a grudge? What is the role of the nearby Chinese cultural centre, and how do you protect a horse worth millions from a determined enemy?


When DCI Martin Robb responds to his eldest daughter's appeal for help, he discovers the murky truth beneath the surface of this horse-loving community. Though their shared passion unites the owners, those who buy with borrowed money are in trouble when payback time looms.


A colourful, characterful parade of horses and riders fills the pages of this action-packed thriller.

    In a nation fractured by ideology and faith, one woman’s quiet strength becomes her greatest weapon. 
    Tracy Kincaid has spent her life rebuilding from the pieces others left behind. Haunted by betrayal and loss, she searches for meaning in a world where forgiveness is preached more easily than practiced. Along her journey, she meets those who will test her resolve — and one woman who will teach her that healing isn’t about forgetting, but learning to live with the truth. 
    From the creator of Nazi America comes a powerful story of resilience, faith, and the fragile beauty of redemption. 
    Tracy is a testament to the human spirit — how it breaks, how it heals, and how, even in the darkest world, light can still find its way through.

    When death has a deadline... 
    The late Sheriff Alden Wallace has barely been laid to rest when another body is found on Shadow Island. Once again, former FBI agent turned interim sheriff Rebecca West’s vacation plans will have to wait. 
    This time, the victim is the son of one of Shadow Island’s privileged elite. Found gruesomely posed at a picnic table in the park—suffocated, choked, and shot, with a cryptic note shoved in his pants—his death is as personal as it is disturbing. 
    And he’s the first one on the killer’s list. 
    When a second young man is murdered in a similar fashion, the questions and the stakes increase. Who had so much rage against these men? A girl they treated poorly? Or were the murders somehow connected to the secretive and exclusive organization of rich men no one on the island wants to talk about? 
    The deeper Rebecca digs, the more certain she is the Yacht Club is involved in the spate of crimes on the island...and the late Sheriff Wallace may have been covering for them. The club members will stop at nothing to keep their secrets. But Rebecca is determined to expose them, regardless of the cost. 
    From the provocative beginning to the edge-of-your-seat conclusion, Shadow’s Deadline—the third book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will remind you to choose your friends wisely.
