Lady Vanishes

A PI goes undercover with her pit bull partner as a dog therapist in a crime novel from a Shamus Award–winning author "canine fans will relish" (Publishers Weekly).

When Lady, the beloved therapy dog of the Harbor View residential home goes missing, private investigator Rachel Alexander and her dog Dash slip in easily as the new service dog and trainer, though figuring out who murdered Harbor View's owner is not so simple. Dash brings order and calm to Harbor View's residents, but Rachel is deeply disturbed when her client and chief source of clues is badly injured in an "accident." Suddenly the stakes are even higher—for Rachel, Dash, and the ensemble of eccentric residents they have come to care for . . .
