Part of the Texas K9 series, set in the town of
Sagebrush, GUARD DUTY features Valerie Salgado with
her Rottweiler Lexi. Crime has been escalating and every
corner store robbery carries a frisson of fear for the
responders. Valerie sets her dog to track the latest armed
robbers and follows but when her dog leaps a fence in hot
pursuit and someone throws a crate off a roof at Valerie,
an FBI agent shows up and helps her to apprehend the
climber while well-trained Lexi gets the other man.
Agent Trevor Lewis is in search of a bank robber who grew
up in Sagebrush, and he's willing to work with the locals.
He doesn't expect to spot his quarry on his first day with
Valerie. They lose the man, but Trevor is all the more
determined to track him down. However their work is
complicated by that fact that Valerie, who cares for her
young niece, is receiving death threats.
Family dynamics come to the fore in GUARD DUTY as Valerie
has a brother who works undercover and a retired detective
father who pushes her to take detective exams and give up
the K9 work which she loves. The fugitive also has a half-
sister and any family may be his point of contact with the
area, so Trevor has to work on that presumption. But the
officers here know all too well that dogs are not
invulnerable, and the organised crime syndicate gets more
vicious by the day.
Sharon Dunn has given us a fast-moving, busy, well-
researched drama with an element of romance, in which the
canines take a major role. GUARD DUTY is a great addition
to the
series and shows how a reliable K9 is an asset to any law
enforcement unit.
As a potential murder witness, rookie K-9 police officer
Valerie Salgado is living with a death threat and caring
for her young niece. And things get worse when FBI agent
Trevor Lewis comes to Sagebrush, Texas. In exchange for her
help on his case, Trevor offers Valerie protection, but
Trevor has more walls around him than a maximum-security
prison. And now Valerie must convince him that she, her
niece and her K-9 partner would make the perfect family for
him, if they can stay alive….
