Lawyer Andy Carpenter’s true passion is the Tara Foundation,
the dog rescue organization he runs with his friend Willie
Miller. All kinds of dogs make their way to the foundation,
and Andy and Willie aren’t surprised to find a dog at the
shelter one morning with a note saying someone had found him
stray and dropped him off. But they are surprised when they
scan the dog’s embedded chip. They know this dog. He is the
“DNA dog.”
Two and a half years ago, Jill Hickman was a single mother
of an adopted baby. Her baby and dog were kidnapped in broad
daylight in Eastside Park, and they haven’t been seen since.
A tip came in that a former boyfriend of Hickman’s, Keith
Wachtel, was the kidnapper. A search of his house showed no
sign of the child, but did uncover more incriminating
evidence, and the clincher that generated Wachtel’s arrest
was some dog hair, notable since Wachtel did not have a dog.
DNA tests showed conclusively that the hair belonged to
Hickman’s dog. Wachtel was convicted of kidnapping, but the
dog and baby were never found.
Now, with the reappearance of the dog, the case is brought
back to light, and the search for the child renewed. Goaded
by his wife’s desire to help a friend and fellow mother and
Andy’s desire to make sure the real kidnapper is in jail,
Andy and his team enter the case. But what they start to
uncover is far more complicated and dangerous than they ever
expected.
