One of his best ever books! Danger- telepathy-empathy, subtle heroics, insight into the minds of horses; overcoming adversity & ferreting out evil doings with intelligence & class. Great tutorial on how to treat people who might not have your best interests at heart. A bit of fascinating sleuthing always. Can't resist reading all his books every couple decades or so. I enjoy coming back to my old friendly author and surprising myself with reading the book from a New perspective each time...
