The Blue Horse (Porter Beck, #3) by Bruce Borgos

 

A controversial wild horse round-up in the high desert of Nevada results in two murders and too many suspects for Sheriff Porter Beck to deal with.

A helicopter driving a controversial round-up of wild horses suddenly crashes and the pilot is found to have been shot. Then the person coordinating the round-up for the Bureau of Land Management is savagely murdered, buried up to her neck and then trampled to death by the very same wild horses. And there's no lack of suspects―with the wild horse advocacy group having sworn to protect the horse At Any Cost! Now the state and federal agencies are showing up looking for answers or at least a scapegoat.

Sheriff Porter Beck has had better days.

Porter Beck's new girlfriend, Detective Charlie Blue Horse, arrives to help with the investigation, which leads them to Canadian Lithium mining operation near the round-up area that sets off Beck's mental alarm bells. Brinley, Beck's sister, is leading a group of troubled kids in a wilderness program, when one of them, Rafa, bolts one night. When Brinley catches up to him, they're just outside the mine―in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

With his personal life in turmoil, too many suspects and too many secrets, the feds pushing for a quick resolution, and his impetuous (if skilled) sister in the mix, one wrong step could be deadly for Porter Beck.

My Review

 This a story that begins and ends with a lot of action! Now this is the third book in this series, and they are all equally good, and yes, this can be read alone.
The author drew me in with the downing of the helicopter, who would want him dead?
Then there are the horses, I really didn't like what was happening to those poor beautiful animals, really breaks your heart.
There are surprises here, and yes, the almighty greed comes into play. Whom do you trust?
The time is when the Virus is infecting the world and has reached Nevada, and affecting those we now know, and many others. Then there are murders, and then we are left guessing, whom will survive, and then there are big surprises, I really didn't guess.
Hoping that there are more Porter Beck books!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher St. Martin's Press, and was not required to give a positive review.
