A Two Million Pound Ransom for a Kidnapped Horse

Fionn MacCool is the one bright spot in the 1980s when Ireland is groaning under the weight of The Troubles. The beautiful thoroughbred is the winner of all the biggest races in the British Isles. But the entire country is shocked and angered when their hero is kidnapped and held for ransom.

Patrick McCallin is a young teen who dreams of becoming a jockey. That dream comes true when he is selected to ride Fionn. Race after race ends with Fionn and Patrick in the Winner's Circle. Together, they capture the hearts of all the Irish.

But the dream becomes a nightmare when Patrick's beloved horse is stolen. When the horse's owner refuses to pay and the Irish Garda closes the case, Patrick and his best friends, Ronan and Maddie, have no choice but to find Fionn themselves.
