Belated justice can be the most satisfying. For almost ten years, Nikki Drake struggled to deal with her sister’s mysterious disappearance. When another teen vanishes from the same riding stable, the details are too eerily similar to ignore, and she vows to uncover the truth. No longer a child but a newly minted private investigator, she has additional weapons in her arsenal now, including a re-homed police dog and an enigmatic detective with ties to the horse stable. However, digging into her sister’s case erodes old trusts and brings dark secrets bubbling to the surface. And this time they could be fatal...for her.

Dogs, horses, mystery, romance, good story line, well developed characters. Loved Gunner. What a super dog! Loved that it had horses in the story, although it was a K-9/P I story . She is one of my very favorite authors and this one didn't disappoint. Can't wait for more in this series. Amazon Reviewer "Very moving with good intensity.

I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and to get to know the rest of the characters."Vicki, Amazon Reviewer "Horses, a dog, a rival, an old boyfriend, and murder. I spent most of the book guessing who was the criminal(s) and the ending was a total surprise. It's a well-crafted story. I look forward to more stories in this series." Carl, Amazon Reviewer "Just realized this was the first in a series so can't wait to read more! The dog addition was a great fit and the training that goes into a police dog is interesting. I love the horses and no one does horses better than Ms. Pettersen. She knows her stuff and makes you feel like you are right there! Great read, highly recommend!" J.

Terry M., Amazon Reviewer "This series is engaging on several levels . The dog, of course, but also the finely developed characters, relationships, and settings.The story line is well developed, and the suspense is at a level that keeps you eagerly engaged but not to the point of being distressed. I can't wait for the next book!" Amazon Reviewer
