It may be the day of rest, but Lois Meade finds that not everyone believes in keeping it holy.
A rash of strange occurrences in and around Long Farnden has Lois unsettled. Someone's been stealing valuable tack from the equestrian set, and then a local n'er-do-well is killed when a horse bolts in front of his van. With a new employee on her hands who may or may not be trustworthy, Lois hardly knows what to make of the disturbances, but it soon becomes clear that she'd better figure it out post-haste, or she herself may take a nasty tumble.
