More about the book:
After the FBI suspends her for bending its rules,
Special Agent Raleigh Harmon is looking for a chance to redeem her
career and re-start her life.
Sent undercover
to a thoroughbred horse track, Raleigh takes on a double life to find
out who’s fixing the races. But when horses start dying and then her own
life is threatened, Raleigh realizes something bigger—and more
sinister—is ruining Emerald Meadows.
She’s never felt more alone.
Her
one contact with the FBI is Special Agent Jack Stephanson, a guy who
seems to jump from antagonistic to genuine friend depending on the time
of day. And she can’t turn to her family for support. They’re off-limits
while she’s undercover, and her mother isn’t speaking to her anyway,
having been confined to a mental hospital following a psychotic
breakdown. Adding insult to her isolation, Raleigh’s fiancé wants them
to begin their life together—now—precisely when she’s been ordered not
to be herself.
With just days left before the season ends, Raleigh
races to stop the killing and find out who’s behind the track’s trouble,
all the while trying to determine if Jack is friend or foe, and whether
marrying her fiancé will make things better—or worse.
Raleigh is walking through the darkest night she’s faced, searching for a place where the stars shine bright.
