 Definition: 

Blindfold
Gideon Blake is known to be particularly skilled at soothing difficult horses. That`s probably why he`s kidnapped in the middle of night, blindfolded and handcuffed, and forced to exercise his gift on a skittish stallion. After he`s done the work, he`s released. Gideon is left to figure out just what has happened to him, and why, in an investigation that could prove deadly.
