Even small-town secrets can be deadly.

Ember Burns was determined to overcome her grief and establish a new veterinary practice, but her first client lands her in the middle of a murder mystery. When the evidence points to a horse as the cause of death, she vows to protect him.

Except horses don't talk, and neither do the dead, so Ember has to rely on her intelligence and instinct to get to the truth. A truth buried under layers of small-town secrets big enough to get her killed.

Battling a reluctant Sheriff and pushy Mayor, Ember struggles to get her business off the ground while digging deeper. Why would anyone want to kill the local farrier, and who was plotting to stop her?

As the town gears up for its centennial celebration, Ember is led from local ranches to the surrounding Cascade Mountains in her quest. Time is running out for the horse and for Ember as a maze of intersecting lies collide to threaten her life and allow the true culprit to get away with murder.
