One of Humboldt's well-known horse breeders is brutally murdered, then left to burn in his barn along with his prized stallions. A Jack Logan client has been accused of the murder and Carson has been called in to investigate.

However, getting to the truth is proving to be a real challenge. It seems no one, not even the accused, is capable of telling the truth.

Greed, lust, infidelity, half-truths and the Memphis Mafia all seem to be involved - somehow. Sorting out the pieces and finding the real murderer, will be a monumental task.

Carson becomes involved in the web of lies and faces one of his biggest challenges, as he tries to solve the case of Horse Tales.
