Death of a Friend

DC Den Cooper has been called out to investigate the death of a man who had bee involved in animal rights.  The post mortem indicates that the victim had been trampled by a horse.  His death followed the death of a woman who was also involved in animal rights.  Are the two deaths related, even though the woman's death accidental?

A prime suspect appears in the form of the husband of the of the accident victim.  His claim to having been stuck in Vietnam is proved false when flight records are checked.  What is the best way for Cooper to approach him?

Later while enroute to interview a witness, Cooper is called to return to the farm because a child he gone missing.  Could this be related to the murder?  Fortunately that is not the case.

Author Rebecca Tope presents a couple of suspects as the story draws to a conclusion, but do the police have enough evidence to charge either of them?  Newly minted DC Den Cooper has his work cut out for him.  Author Tope provides a surprising conclusion to this mystery.  A good read.
