A hair-raising night is in progress in a Washington suburb
in PROTECTION DETAIL. A well-liked lawyer and his son are
shot on the street. Close by is a children's home, and
Cassie Danvers the housemother, hearing a noise, gets up
to
check only to find a man with gasoline and a knife on the
porch. She screams and runs, hoping to lead him away;
she's
found by a police K9 unit working the shooting.
Captain Gavin McCord and his shepherd dog Glory are
swiftly
tracking the prowler, while more police help Cassie with
the nervous kids - who may include a witness to crime. If
so, they're not talking. The strange man reappears, this
time firing a gun. Only Gavin and Glory save Cassie from
abduction. But what exactly is behind all this, and are
any
more local deaths implicated in the case?
Wow, talk about action and danger! Even lovely big dog
Glory is at risk as she confronts an armed criminal. This
dog is trained for protection, not search and rescue, but
she can still track a prowler through the neighbourhood
and
she trusts her handler absolutely. Her handler Gavin
himself came from a children's home so he has more insight
than most into the difficulties Cassie faces every day.
Cassie's a strong lady though, and she definitely doesn't
panic. With eight unruly kids dependent on her for
shelter, love and a good example, she's going to hold it
together no matter what happens.
If you previously read any of the Texas K9 linked
series,
you will love the fact that Shirlee McCoy's book
PROTECTION
DETAIL is the first in another such series called
Capitol
K9 Unit set in Washington. Authors to come will
include
Terri Reed, Lynnette Eason, Margaret Daley and Lenora
Worth. I don't think it gets much better for romantic
suspense with highly trained dogs and their police
partners. This is going to be a series worth watching for.
Each book will be complete but leave loose ends to be tied
up in the last. While the Washington setting is more urban
than Texas I am looking forward to patrolling the
neighbourhoods and meeting the characters. PROTECTION
DETAIL is a great start to a highly promising linked
series.
After a prominent senator's son is murdered, Capitol K-9
Unit captain Gavin McCord wants answers. The senator was a
mentor to Gavin, and he'll stop at nothing to bring the
killer to justice. With his team of elite K-9 cops and his
loyal dog, Glory, at his side, Gavin discovers that a
child
at Cassie Danvers's nearby foster home may have witnessed
the murder. He's drawn to the determined and beautiful
woman, but she doesn't want him interviewing her
traumatized
charges. Yet trusting Gavin is the only way to stay one
step
ahead of the deadly gunman when Cassie becomes a target.
Capitol K-9 Unit: These lawmen solve the toughest cases
