Elizabeth Stitchway, Private Investigator #2
Black Magic: An Arabian Stallion
Three love affairs enveloped in mystery and intrigue, intertwine with one common thread—Black Magic.
Jerry Stevens embraces Black Magic as a member of the family. The stallion wins regional honors qualifying him for national completion and catapulting Stevens’ farm into a multi-million dollar business—selling the stallion’s stud rights around the world.
But Stevens’ luck falters when a prize Arabian mare is stolen and turmoil besets his Ocala, Florida farm. He hires Elizabeth Stitchway, a private investigator. Stitchway bumps up against Ocala’s lead detective, David Milhous. They soon become drawn to each other.
Rusty Burns, a spirited young woman—trainer, groomer, dealer of Arabian horses on her Arizona ranch, is driven with desire for fame and fortune—in that order. Her veterinarian, Victor Bennett, wants money, lots of money. A perfect match! They seem to have it all until Rusty’s Arab stallion goes head-to-head against Black Magic at the U.S. National Arabian show in Albuquerque.
Suddenly the lives of Stevens and Burns begin to crisscross—the two ranches become embroiled in conflict. The question facing Rusty, will her lust to succeed cause her to lose her ranch and all she’s worked for?

June 8, 2022A night school writing assignment?
Great Arabian horse ownership info. ,
Way too much of pointless detail (would you expect a warm bottle of water to come out of a refrigerator? And listing every detail of police uniform and physical appearance is just too girly to rate compliments. Was there a demand for number of.words?

I can't wait to read the next one. I learned a lot about showing horses. I hope Penny and David's relationship goes farther.
