A little into the magical side of the genre, but a good mystery/thriller. Mason is a dog trainer, who trains Human Remains Detection dogs. When his Golden Retriever, Elvira is out on one of her first assignments, she finds the body and soon after viciously attacks a bystander.
Mason starts poking around pretty sure that there was a reason his dog went after the guy. As the story progresses a serial killer targets Mason. With the help of a police officer, who is fond of Vira, they try to track down the real killer. This is a good first novel, and the characters are believable, even if Vira’s behavior is not. I’m looking forward to reading the second novel.
