Tonya Callahan is struggling to become a jockey in the male-dominated world of Thoroughbred racing. But there is something more sinister then sexism at work at the small Southwestern track where Tonya lives with her father, a successful trainer.

The efforts of the local police are hampered by a lack of resources and small town politics. The police lieutenant, nearing retirement, considers the deaths of two “wetbacks” a nuisance keeping him from enjoying his last days on the job. So Tonya becomes a reluctant amateur sleuth, determined to find the killer. Following a trail of clues that include circled entries from racing programs found near each body, Tonya uncovers a twisted web of bigotry and sexism that leads her to three suspects—including Mike Torres, a fiery jockey, who both frightens and intrigues her…
