Bailey Calhoun is an inquisitive man. He's a Bureau of Land Management Investigator, ex-marine, and ex-cop. He wants to know why his marriage is disintegrating, why his career is stalled, why the years are passing him by. But answer to such questions don't come easy.
When twenty-four wild horses are shot dead in Wyoming _ no motive, no suspect, no clues - Calhoun feels that this, at least, might be a mystery he can solve. Despite warnings and brush-offs, he starts asking questions.
As Calhoun probes further, and more horses die, the vested interests of big business and organized crime recognize Calhoun as a threat. There's more at stake than the mindless destruction of wildlife.Calhoun is in danger and in deep. The kind of people who shoot horses wouldn't think twice about killing an inquisitive man. Or an inquisitive man's wife.
