Murder Comes To Truro

A peaceful Cornwall holiday. A champion racehorse stolen. Two amateur sleuths who can’t resist a mystery.
Retired MI5 officer Evelyn Harrington and mystery novelist Lionel Danbury arrive in Truro for a well-deserved break-no investigations, no danger, just cathedral tours and cream tea with their friend Sally.
But when champion thoroughbred Franky vanishes and head trainer Malcolm Trevethan is found murdered in the stables, their quiet holiday takes a deadly turn.
What begins as a simple theft quickly unravels into something far more sinister: decades of breeding fraud, falsified bloodlines worth millions, and a conspiracy that’s already claimed two lives. As Evelyn and Lionel dig deeper into Cornwall’s elite racing world, they discover that Franky isn’t just missing-he might not even be who everyone thinks he is.
With a ruthless killer growing desperate, evidence mysteriously burning, and witnesses disappearing, can two amateur investigators expose the truth before they become the next victims?
