**The following is from the back of the book; I DID NOT write it**

We heard the roar of an engine and looked up in time to see a dusty blue car hurtling toward us. I expected the driver to slow down when he saw us on horseback, but he didn't. Instead, he seemed to increase his speed.

"Look out!" I shouted at Rebecca. "That madman is going to run us down!"

What starts as Kimberly's peaceful, relaxing holiday on her cousin's stud farm in Portugal, builds to a nightmare of treachery and deceit. From the moment the sinister Mr. Merlota threatens to cause trouble for Rebecca's mom, things start going terribly wrong. Rumors of animal cruelty plague them, disturbing photographs appear, and worst of all, their prize stallion, San Silvo, the foundation of the stud farm, goes berserk in his stall. Is he sick or is someone doing something to him? The girls have to get to the bottom of the mystery before Rebecca and her mom lose everything...

**My Review**
I did not really like this book. I thought that the photographs in it detracted from the story and that the characters' lines were stilted. In my opinion the author's other book "Dangerous Summer" was better written and more believable.
