Dark horse: noun A usually little known contender that makes an unexpectedly good showing


For this reason he goes undercover as an insurance agent to the county where he grew up, where his parents had their ranch and crosses a broken down bridge into a town with the biblical name of Absalom, a very unfriendly town, a town without pity. Naturally it is not too long before his cover is blown.


So who are the other players? Is it Walt’s old friend Bill, or the old ranch hand who idolized Mary, or the bar owner, or the drunken cowboy who keeps threatening to beat Walt up?
In Absalom, Walt is out of his natural element, and away from his resources, which amplifies the feelings of helplessness sometimes felt in law enforcement. Fortunately his friend Henry Standing Bear has come to town to be some support.
Longmire realizes that the key to the entire scenario is the manipulation of Mary in some way. There are other people in the town that considered the death a happy and welcome event. Most of these have past lie detector rests. But Mary was not herself because she had routinely taking Ambien, a sleeping medication known to be dangerous, with drawn at one point by the FD and then rereleased with stronger warnings similar to Lunesta. This was because people behave aberrantly while on it, sleep walking, driving cars while asleep and other bizarre behavior
He is drawn into several dangerous situations in which he has to call upon his police training and that of certain parts of his youth and past which stand him in good stead. Following his instincts he sorts through the clues, straightens out the twists and turns, and plays the cowboy in the end to catch the bad guy.
