Publisher's Synopsis
Finally finished with the renovations on her new house, bestselling children's book author Pris and her trusty bloodhound, Bailey, are finding more opportunities to join the community. But their progress is paw-sed when David Thompson, the volatile grandson of the late resident Edward Thompson, comes to claim his inheritance. After the new arrival riles up several other locals with petty arguments, the once sleepy town goes barking mad. Before long, the wealthy bachelor disappears without a trace, and the police suspect foul play. Bailey's tracking instincts helped them collar the last criminal in Crosbyville, so the cops turn to Pris and her sweet hound to track down David. But on their search-and-rescue mission, Pris and Bailey sniff out fraud, theft, and a body. Before they know it, both are hackles-deep inside another homicide investigation. Can the unlikely duo chase down the killer, or will they be left chasing their own tails?
