Overview
Run for the Roses is the sixth book in the Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series.
An unexpected discovery at an estate sale sends Hannah Prentiss and her best friend, Lacy Minyard, on a search for a champion horse and her jockey who disappeared on the eve of the greatest race of the mare's life. Trophies, a picture album, and other racing memorabilia bring back memories of Hannah's childhood love of horses, and she resolves to find out more. Hannah already has her hands full running the Hot Spot, but soon she and Lacy become consumed with curiosity about the fate of the missing horse, Angel, and her rider, Mickey.
As Hannah and Lacy dig into the past, they find themselves exploring the legendary racetracks and horse farms at the heart of the Kentucky Bluegrass region. But the longer the list of suspects grows, the more Hannah fears the answer lies closer to home.
