Two years ago, police officer Andrea Brady fell madly in love with a black-muzzled, slightly rumpled German shepherd who showed up at her house one misty autumn day. Now, with the brave and intuitive Justice as her expert K-9 drug sniffer, sheâs found an unbeatable partner. Then the unthinkable happens. A savage attack leaves a teenager dead and Andie trapped in every copâs worst nightmare. Placed on administrative leave, sheâs pursued by media and investigated by a deputy sheriff whose handling of the high-profile case could earn him a coveted promotion.
Haunted by self-doubt, Andie is in danger of losing everythingâher career, her freedom, and the critically injured dog whoâs her soul mate. But as she finds kind allies in her Puget Sound island community, the road back becomes a journey of healing for both Andie and her canine companion. And Andie learns important lessons about justiceâand about Justiceâas she struggles to find the courage to forgive herself and reclaim the gift of her life . . .
