Can two former friends find the truth hiding in a pack of lies?

Norah Macintyre is used to being the underdog. Fifteen years ago, she lost her relationship with her dadandher best friend, Ben, and since then she’s protected her heart by floating through life. Working odd jobs, she’s low on money and responsibility. But all that changes when she inherits a Pomeranian named Marshmallow, aka “Satan’s Cotton Ball,” and the oddest job of all: clearing her dad of murder.

Reese Morrow-Bass, a local architect and dog park regular, has been shot, and Norah’s dad is the prime suspect. After all, he’s a former dirty cop who was feuding with the dead man. But Ben Murphy isn’t convinced. He may have turned his back on Norah when her father was ousted from the force, but he’s regretted it ever since. On leave from the Boston PD, Ben joins Norah’s investigation, even though helping his former secret crush ignites feelings he’s tried to forget, and operating outside his jurisdiction might get him fired.

But it’s not easy, proving that the Labrador Falls police are barking up the wrong tree. And despite a pack of suspects, Norah and Ben are much closer to catching feelings than catching a killer. The nearer they get, the more dogged determination they’ll need to come through unscathed…
