A Taste of Blood and Ashes
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
When Nashville PI and horse whisperer Jared McKean is hired to investigate a suspicious barn fire, he finds evidence of soring, the practice of using painful shoeing or caustic chemicals to affect the gait of a Tennessee Walking Horse. But the owners, Zane and Carlin Underwood, are known anti-soring activists. Carlin's distress seems genuine, and Zane is confined to a wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down during an attack by a frenzied stallion. Jared believes someone else is behind the arson. Knowing the arsonist is almost certainly someone in community of those who breed and show Walking Horses, Jared and his new assistant, his half-sister Khanh, attend a local horse show in hopes of flushing out the culprit. There are suspects aplenty, including a groom on the run from a powerful cartel, a modern day robber baron, and a beautiful gold-digger whose dreams are filled with fire. Secrets pile on top of secrets, and as Zane's memories of the events leading to his accident begin to return, the situation becomes deadly. Jared and Khanh find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer who will do anything to keep the past in the past.

A suspicious horse-barn blaze, in which Jared McKean finds human bone fragments, propels Terrell’s colorful but confusing fourth case for the Nashville cop turned PI (after 2014’s River of Glass). The barn’s owners, Zane and Carlin Underwood, are pariahs among much of the Tennessee Walking Horse community because they’re against abusive “soring” practices to train the animals in the lucrative Big Lick gait. And in a rural county where the sheriff is a member of the ruling Trehorne family, with its horse-breeding interests, it’s an open question whether McKean can dig up answers before suffering one of the deadly “accidents” that seem rife. During an investigation largely conducted during a bustling local horse show, Terrell offers an intriguing glimpse of an insular world. But even those not put off by the pidgin English (“More better focus on one thing”) of McKean’s Vietnamese half-sister, Khanh, who serves as his assistant, are likely to be disappointed by the increasingly addled plot and head-scratchingly arbitrary denouement. Agent: Jill Marr, Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency.
