Pio Morgan is waiting outside a pub
on a cold winter night. There is a debt he must pay and no options left. What
he does next drags a group of strangers into a web of confusion that over the course
of a few days changes all their lives. The young Maori widow just trying to
raise her children, the corporate executive hiding his mistake, the gang of
criminals that will do what ever it takes to recover what they've lost - and
the outsider sent to town to try and figure out who did what. Time is running
out for all of them as events take an increasingly dark turn.
“A crime story and a romance.
Violence and compassion. Ray Berard’s Inside the Black Horse is
both a compelling journey into the dark world of gangs, drugs and killing and
an engaging look at the mending of broken souls. An armed robbery that
unexpectedly interrupts a drug deal sets the scene, thrusting good and evil
against each other in a race to recover the loot. The reader is sucked along
and kept guessing until the final unraveling that is both surprising and
simple.”
