Chasing Cans: A Gail McCarthy Mystery

Chasing Cans is rodeo slang for barrel racing, a competition that can bring its winners fame and big bucks. To Gail McCarthy, a horse vet turned stay-at-home mom, chasing cans also stands for the ambitious pursuit of empty career goals at the expense of personal and family tranquility. While Gail is wrestling with this issue in her own life, she witnesses a mystifying riding accident that kills a neighbor, a barrel-racing trainer. Then a mysterious series of apparent accidents, one fatal, occurs at the training stable, and Gails detective friend Jeri asks for her help. As the two struggle to put the pieces of a puzzle together before someone else dies, Gail nearly becomes the next victim. Her riding skills save her, in a climax that pits her in a race against a desperate villain with a definite reason to want her silenced forever.
