One of the characters is "Thaddeus Pennock," perhaps a nod to one of the earliest families who settled here in West Marlborough Township.
Thad is an FBI agent as well as an equestrian. As we learn in Chapter 2: “Then Thad did what he always did to pull himself together. He reached within for the lesson he started learning by foxhunting at the age of twelve alongside his parents. ... If he fell, he was expected to get right up, remount, and carry on without so much as a whimper no matter how frightened he was or how much he hurt unless he broke a bone and couldn’t. Over the years of his youth he did fall, but just as many times he made himself get up and thus came to believe he always could.”
According to the book's blurb: "The plot races from the sinister world of organized crime in Philadelphia to dirty DC politics and from deadly deception in Buenos Aires to a murderous ambush in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania horse country, with provocative characters and unexpected twists at every turn."
You can download the first chapter for a preview (clipperlamotte.com) or purchase the book online (the e-book is available starting Dec. 8). I'll bet Clipper would even autograph it for you!
