The Secret of the Painted Pony

When Wyoming author Dodge Graham buys a charming little painting at an estate sale, he has no idea that the canvas holds the power to turn his life upside down.

But when Dodge takes a closer look, he realizes that the pony in the painting bears a striking resemblance to one owned by his sister-in-law, Jan. Even stranger, the painting was finished a full fifteen years before Jan's pony was born.

Unwilling to let the matter rest, Dodge and his beautiful wife, Laurel, set out on a mission to figure out why and how the horses look so much alike.

As the couple chases the mystery from Wyoming to Colorado and back, Dodge and Laurel make shocking discoveries about themselves, their family, and the painting-and face a significant test to the strength of their marriage.

A lighthearted and engaging mystery with plenty of humor, romance, and surprises, "The Secret of the Painted Pony" will delight fans of Tony Hillerman novels.
