The Poisoned Pen just held the book launch for The Horsewoman by James Patterson and Mike Lupica. Lupica says, “It’s a thriller. It’s a family novel. It’s a novel set in showjumping, but at its heart it’s about two women who love each other, but they love showjumping, too.” You can order a copy through the Web Store, and the copies come with signed bookplates. https://bit.ly/3zM8xxb
Here’s the summary of The Horsewoman.
Emotions rule us all—and turn two women’s lives into a ride they can barely control in this “hugely entertaining, riveting page-turner.” —#1 bestselling author Louise Penny
Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe, mother and daughter, both champion riders, vowed to never, ever, go up against one another.
Until the tense, harrowing competitions leading to the Paris Olympics.
Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best horsewoman in the world.
Coronado is Maggie’s horse. An absolutely top-tier Belgian warmblood.
Sky is Becky’s horse. A small, speedy Dutch warmblood.
Only James Patterson could bring you such breakneck speed, hair-raising thrills and spills.
Only hall of fame sportswriter Mike Lupica could make it all so real.
