Stubborness has its price. So does pride.... Stephen Cline will pay heavily for both
 when he drops out of college against his father's wishes and lands a job as barn manager
 at Foxdale Farm, one of Maryland's premiere equestrian facilities. An obnoxious trainer
 and difficult, demanding boarders are all part of the job, but Steve will need every bit
 of his smarts when he interrupts a bunch of thieves very early one morning and is hijacked
 along with the horses. In making his escape, he unwittingly jeopardizes a lucrative scam
 and challenges a sadistic killer. When the police investigation stalls, Steve uses his
 connections in the horse industry and launches his own fact-finding campaign. As he moves
 closer to uncovering the rustlers' ring, he learns that nearly everyone else around him
 also runs risks.... Praise for At Risk "Both horse lovers and crime fans who've never
