Wade Barsad, a man with a dubious past, locked his wifes horses in their barn and burned the animals alive. In return, Mary shot Wade in the head six timesor so the story goes. Walt doesnt believe Marys confession, and hes determined to dig deeper. Posing as an insurance claims investigator, Walt soon discovers other people who might have wanted Wade dead, including a beautiful Guatemalan bartender and a rancher with a taste for liquor, but not for honesty. The Dark Horse is sure to build on the success of Another Mans Moccasins as Sheriff Longmire unpins his star and ventures into a town without pity to save a woman without hope.
