Former Dallas Police detective Sammy Kidman is now a private investigator working for his wife Marni's agency, MK & Associates. While he is out tracking down scofflaws who owe past-due child support, he rescues a dog from becoming road kill.
Miraculously, Marni allows Sammy to keep the gangly mongrel, whom Sammy soon discovers to be an unexpected asset in his work. He has no idea how much of an asset, however, until he tangles with a high-powered woman executive who resents his collection efforts so much as to concoct a particularly harrowing revenge.
"Sammy: The Consolation of Bucephalus" is Book 11 in the Sammy Series, which begins with "Sammy: Dallas Detective."
