Dead Horses — David E. Knop

New Mexico tribal police officer, Peter Romero, embarks on another trill-packed hunt to find whoever has been leaving dead Arabian horses across the Southwest. A brutal double-murder involving his childhood friend on his own reservation stretches Romero's skills and loyalties, while trying to unravel the puzzling clues that trail a mysterious stranger in time to stop a long-brewing feud from turning into a modern war.

Romero tightropes between the natural and the supernatural while battling wolves, dirty cops, and an unrelenting murderous grizzly throughout his race to save hundreds of innocent lives before they, too, become part of the dark, hidden side of Southwest history.
