Courtney Cain, Pet Hotel and Rescue Manager, amateur sleuth. After losing her big-city career, Courtney finds purpose managing the Curly Bay Animal Rescue, a place of belonging for forgotten animals. She wants to find a new home for Gunnar, a traumatized police dog whose behavior hints at a deeper mystery. The local authorities dismiss Gunnar's unusual actions, and a dangerous truth lurks within the community she now calls her own.
Gunnar, Retired police German Shepherd K-9. Profoundly grieving his handler's death, Gunnar struggles with separation anxiety, his police training unused and his future uncertain. He wants to find a new purpose and a forever home where he can feel accepted. His grief makes him unpredictable, and the secrets he guards put his new foster family at risk.
If Courtney and Gunnar can't unravel the hidden truth, a corrupt element will escape justice, leaving a hero unmourned and a vulnerable community exposed to a silent threat. Their chance at a found family will vanish.
