Summary:
"Ellie
Stone
, a young newspaper reporter in 1960s' upstate New York, investigates a double murder at an abandoned stud farm near glamorous Saratoga Springs. August 1962. A suspicious fire claims a tumbledown barn on the grounds of the once-proud Sanford Shaw Stud Farm, halfway between New Holland and Saratoga Springs, NY. The blaze, one of several in recent years at the abandoned farm, barely prompts a shrug from the local police. No one at the New Holland Republic wants the assignment, so it falls to girl reporter Ellie
Stone
to file a story on the fire. She uncovers a singed length of racing silk in the rubble in the barn. And it'
s
wrapped around the neck of one of two charred bodies buried in the ashes. What business did Johnny Dornan, a jockey in the midst of a successful August meet at Saratoga, have dying alongside a hand-me-down Jezebel like Vivian McLaglen - a woman with a long list of disreputable lovers and an even longer rap sheet? The police suspect gamblers and race-fixing. Ellie digs deeper. The double murder, committed on a ghostly stud farm in the dead of night, leads Ellie down a haunted path, just a
stone
's
throw
from the glamour of Saratoga Springs, to a place where dangerous men don't like to lose. Unraveling secrets from the past - crushing failure and heartless betrayal - she's learning that arson can be cold revenge."--Publisher's description.
