I recently located and read a copy of John Franklin Barden's mystery novel, The Deadly Percheron. Barden was an advertising exec who turned out ten or so novels and is considered one of the forerunners of the modern psychological thriller. In the book, the killer leaves one of these great beasts tied outside the abode of his victim. I find the Percheron, a French breed of horse used primarily to pull carts and carriages, to be both majestic and a wee bit creepy...
