Land of Wolves
Walt is back from Mexico where he took quite a beating and doesn't feel all that well. But he doesn't let that stop him from doing his job when a Chilean sheep herder either commits suicide or is murdered.
It becomes a murder case when donkey hair is discovered on the inside of Miguel Hernandez's pant legs. When Walt had arrived at the murder scene the donkey was tied up.
The sheep herders work for Abe Extepare who owns the sheep ranch. The old Basque supposedly mistreats his sheep herders. Walt also has a deputy who speaks the language and has been approached to run for sheriff if Walt decides to retire. Then there's Vic, his female deputy who's always had a thing for Walt; he keeps warding her off, but she's quite a handful as is his office manager, Ruby, without whom he'd be lost. She's trying to teach him how to use a computer.
As Walt investigates he keeps seeing this wolf nobody else seems to see. He has a gray snout and seems to have been kicked out of a Yellowstone pack by a younger male. Walt's native American friend, Henry, thinks the wolf might be a spirit guide. Another woman Keasik Cheechoo belongs to some kind of animal protection organization, wolves in this case. The townspeople want the wolf killed and are worried about an influx. Some dead sheep have been found. Cheechoo also seems to have eyes for Walt.
A man named Donald Lott is a principal suspect; his son Liam is Abe's grandson and Abe doesn't want Lott anywhere near him. Hernandez was quite a loner, but there is a rumor that he was in a fight at a bar in town.
The ending is predictable except for the part where Walt tries to save the life of Hernandez's murderer.
