Cassies Ruler

About the Book

Former classics professor Bertrand McAbee, a hesitant P.I., is presented with an odd case. Years back, a young horse trainer was killed by her horse named Cassies Ruler. Her father receives a phone call suggesting that it was not an accident. Accepting the case, it isn’t long before McAbee and his cohorts find themselves tracking a vicious serial killer who murders on whim. The two immensely different worlds of the professorial McAbee and the savage serial killer, Tommy Lee, are moving toward an unforgettable collision. This book is the first in a series of McAbee adventures.
