Jinny finally gets to visit Lady Gilbert's Arab stud, and she's given a commission to paint some of the horses. There is something about Ralph Gilbert, Lady Gilbert's son, that spooks Jinny, and she's even more sure there's something odd about the strange dogs kept on the estate.
There's something else Jinny is worried about more than worried. Ken has gone to the Netherlands to learn pottery at the feet of a master, and his dog, Kelly, keeps going missing. Sheep are being savaged on the moors, and the local farmers are convinced it's Kelly.
Can Jinny save Kelly from being destroyed? And solve the mystery of the strange creatures on the Gilbert estate?
