When Riley Harper's championship border collie Dash discovers something suspicious at the local kennel where a beloved dog breeder has just died, it should be a simple matter of calling the police. But Riley can't shake the feeling that this "accident" is anything but accidental. Despite warnings from her best friend to stay out of it and a detective who's less than thrilled about amateur sleuths, Riley finds herself digging into a world of competitive dog breeding where rivalries run deep and secrets run deeper.

As Riley navigates puppy training classes by day and investigates murder by night, she uncovers a tangled web of financial troubles, professional grudges, and carefully constructed alibis. The charming kennel owner who might be hiding embezzlement. The rival breeder with a ruined reputation and a score to settle. The ex-husband who stands to inherit a fortune. Everyone had reason to want the victim gone, and everyone claims they're innocent. With Dash's talent for uncovering clues (whether she wants him to or not) and her own stubborn determination to see justice done, Riley races to expose a killer before they strike again.

In the cozy town of Pinewood Springs, where everyone knows everyone's business and gossip travels faster than a border collie at an agility competition, Riley Harper is about to learn that solving murders is a lot harder than training dogs. It's also a lot more dangerous. Because someone is watching her investigation very closely, and they're not happy about what she's discovered. Riley will need all her wits, Dash's sharp nose, and maybe a little bit of luck to catch a killer who's proven they'll do anything to keep their secrets buried.
