Overview

Crime reporter Eleanor Wooley is reporting on the annual Mother's Day Rodeo when wildfire breaks out in Gold Strike County high country and a dead woman is pulled from the nearby Little Bear River. The community turns inward in fear. Wooley, following her own instincts and a series of deadend trails, worries that this year's Rodeo Queen may be the next victim. During a high-country excursion to Me-Wuk sacred grounds to foil a scheme to dam the Little Bear River, wildfire breaks out again. Anishinaabe wilderness guide Leonard Parker appears again and continues to surprise. In the aftermath of one crisis after another in this second book of the Wild Horses Mystery series, it's a beautiful wild stallion who Eleanor and her lover, rancher Easton Jode, have rescued from slaughter that restores the light in a small rural town living under the shadow of death.

Reviews

""Robin Somers makes the Sierra foothills as compelling and full of oh-so-human nature as CJ Box's Wyoming, Tana French's western Ireland, or Attica Locke's East Texas. It's that good."" - Bruce Kelley, editor-in-chief, San Francisco Magazine & Reader's Digest ""Three Marys weaves together the romance between two damaged people, the commitment women have to one another, and a love of horses into a landscape so masterfully evoked that the smell of sage and the sound of snowmelt tumbling over rocks remain in the senses long after the story is done."" -Kate Woodworth, author of Little Great Island and Racing Into the Dark. ""Robin Somers has written a riveting novel full of mystery and intrigue. It is a novel with a big heart and a strong pull for justice. I loved this book. It kept me up into the wee hours of the morning."" -Milana Marsenich, author of Copper Sky and The Swan Keeper
