What begins as a curious question about a patterned injury turns into a full-scale ranch investigation involving a horse, a farrier, a sheriff, and one very angry Chihuahua named Pepe. In this sequel to Hoof Prints (Part1), Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kendall Crowns returns to the scene to discover what truly happened that night. The question, as always, remains the same: was is methamphetamine, alcohol, or women that caused a man to do the thing that led to his death? One perfect hoof print reveals the answer.
