Description
After decades of scandal, abuse, and drugging, horseracing was banned, sending Kentucky, once the horse capital of the world, into economic decline. But Limestone Corp's invention of an ultra-realistic robotic horse has raised the industry from the dead: the metalbreds are a new kind of horse, unburdened by pain or fear, and guided by a new kind of jockey - most notably, wunderkind Rosario Vicario. Vicario astonished the racing industry with a home-built metalbred and became an overnight global phenomenon.But then Vicario is murdered.Murder never touches just one person. As the ripples of the crime spread outward, three young women, initially strangers, are drawn together: Ezzardine Clayton, the gambler with the golden touch - and Vicario's best friend;Luz Cabo Trejo, tech genius, botanist, and daughter of racetrackers;and Ty Redson, the maid who dreams of revenge for her own mother's murder. As the three young women search for the truth, their stories and motives begin to intertwine - and their deepest secrets edge toward the light. Each of them is battling her own grief and rage (and two of them are struggling against falling in love) but to uncover the truth they must learn to trust each other...and maybe work together to burn everything down
