Everyone hated Daniel Moore. But who got to him first?
Dog parkers Bailey Hughes and Lia Anderson jump in to support Ellen Brandt through the breakup from hell after long-time cohab Daniel Moore is indicted for stealing musical instruments from his clients.
When Daniel's body turns up in nearby Parker Woods, it's the end of Ellen's problems-until the investigation points at Ellen and an alibi isn't enough to protect her. Lia wants to be done with Ellen's endless drama, but she can't abandon Bailey-no matter the cost.
Detective Cynth McFadden's history with Moore lands her the investigation into his death. While she prefers SWAT takedowns to finessing emotional musicians, it's a huge opportunity to advance her career. The catch? Resolution of Moore's theft case left his victims high and dry, making his murder a political hot potato. It doesn't help that former beau and current bête noire Brent Davis is assigned to help her.
The investigation is complicated by decades of tangled relationships and an ambitious prosecutor gunning for a quick win. When Lia and Bailey get involved, it's a toss up whether the Dog Park Gang will make Cynth's case, or blow it apart.
