Longarm #399 : Longarm And the Grand Canyon Murders (9781101554401) (2012)
“The sheep were long-haired and produced excellent wool in addition to being a source of meat to the People…the Dine. It was a warm afternoon, and when they pushed their vocal flock over a rocky ridge, they heard a single rifle shot off in the distance.
Thinking it might have been one of their own people in trouble and in need of help, the father left the son and rode his pony toward the sound of the shot. What he saw next was very troubling. A man on a horse was jamming his rifle into his saddl...e boot and riding away to the north while a horse on the ground was in the middle of its death throes.
The old man did not understand this, and something told him that there was a great danger if he were seen by the departing horseman. So he rode behind the hill and waited a little while, and then he trotted over to the dead horse, dismounted, and examined the animal. He would, of course, take the good saddle, which was much better than his own, and the bridle, saddlebags, and the rope. But as he examined the dead horse, he could see nothing wrong with its feet or legs, and he could not understand why anyone would kill such a valuable and healthy saddle horse.MoreLess
