New friend, new job, new horse. Everything could actually be perfect in Vera Roth's life. If it weren't for the new riding stable: a paradise for horses, populated by charming people. Until elite rider Marga falls off her horse and lies dead. Accident or murder? Vera has observed other eerie occurrences and wants to know what’s behind them. But her job at Heidelberg University is draining her last nerve, her boyfriend Gerson complains that she spends too much time at the stable, and Nine-Days-Wonder, her dream horse, has colic. A crime story from the murderous everyday life of a riding stable. The author, Heide-Marie Lauterer, a long-time member and secretary of the Heidelberg Riding Club and a horse owner, is well-versed in the ups and downs of the equestrian life. She publishes short crime stories and is a member of the authors' association "Murderous Sisters.".
