This yearβs party is no exception. But before the stockings can be hung by the chimney with care, homicide detectives ruin the evening. Derek Moore, one of the foundationβs best foster volunteers, is arrested for murder.
Andy discovers Derekβwhose real name is Bobbyβis in the witness protection program after giving evidence against his former gang. The police believe Bobby murdered a member. But Bobby swears to Andy he didnβt do this. Heβs built a new life, a new business, has two new dogs after being a double foster- failure.
There isnβt much Andy likes about this case, but he likes Bobby. If heβs innocent, Andy wants to help.

Andyβs golden retriever, Tara, will have to adjust to not being the only golden at the house while Andy gets to the bottom of this oneβ¦
