Holly Winter’s life is going to the dogs, but that’s just
fine with her. A feisty, thirtysomething dog-lover, she is
a grand champion at tracking down criminals—the two-legged
kind. At dog obedience trials, fighting is common—
especially between owners. But Dog’s Life columnist Holly
Winter is shocked when a mere training session ends in
murder. Between sit, heel, and the final long down, a
retired doctor takes the longest down of all—strangled
with his malamute Rowdy’s leash. And when Holly takes the
orphaned dog home, he quickly becomes her cherished new
partner in digging up clues to a crime that cuts to the
bone with betrayal—and will touch the heart of anyone who
has ever loved a dog.
