About the Elena Estes series

Elena Estes is a former Palm Beach County sheriff's detective, forced out of law enforcement and now working undercover in the county's wealthy equestrian world, where her own troubled past and the insular horse-country elite she moves through keep dragging her back into criminal investigations. Dark Horse (2002) opens with a kidnapping in that world; The Alibi Man (2007) follows Elena deeper into the private lives -- and private crimes -- of Palm Beach's horse-set wealthy, trading Hoag's usual Midwest and Southern settings for South Florida's equestrian gentry.
