THE WONDER HORSE - MARK GREENWOOD

From the author of The Dragon's Treasure and The Vanishing, comes a new History Hunter mystery about the legendary racehorse Phar Lap.

In the 1930s, the big chestnut horse was a national icon who brought joy to ordinary Australians during the Great Depression. In dark times, people with little reason for hope cheered him on. Under the care of his faithful handler, Tommy, Phar Lap won many sensational victories. But there were some who would stop at nothing to keep Phar Lap from winning.
Join the History Hunter as he tackles a web of mysteries, from the intuition of a struggling horse trainer to the role of genetics, and the biggest mystery of all- how did Phar Lap really die?
