Thriller | Mystery
Edgar award winner Theresa Schwegel returns with The Good
Boy, her most dramatic and emotional novel to date, a
family epic that combines the hard-boiled grit of her
acclaimed police thrillers with an intimate portrait of a
young boy trying to follow his heart in an often heartless
city.
For Officer Pete Murphy, K9 duty is as much a
punishment as a promotion. When a shaky arrest reignites a
recent scandal and triggers a multimillion-dollar lawsuit,
all eyes are on Pete as the department braces for another
media firestorm.
Meanwhile, Pete's eleven-year-old
son Joel feels invisible. His parents hardly notice
him—unless they're arguing about his “behavioral
problems”—and his older sister, McKenna, has lately
disappeared into the strange and frightening world of
teenagerdom. About the only friend Joel has left is Butchie,
his father's furry “partner.”
When Joel and Butchie
follow McKenna to a neighborhood bully’s party, illegal
activity kicks the dog's police training into overdrive, and
soon the duo are on the run, navigating the streets of
Chicago as they try to stay one step ahead of the bad
guys—bad guys who may have a very personal interest in
getting some payback on Officer Pete Murphy.
