Lia gets a puppy. Peter gets a bag of bones. Who's in more trouble?

Human remains on the banks of Cincinnati's Mill Creek spark a media circus. It's a case Detective Peter Dourson shouldn't have, with attention he doesn't want-even before his former fiancée arrives to fan the flames.

And it's the Dog Park Gang's fault it landed in his lap.

Starving artist Lia Anderson has her own problems. Her new puppy is on a mission to destroy everything she owns and a ditsy new client is driving her crazy. Worse, Peter's ex wants to rekindle their relationship. Forgotten stories tie the case to the region's dark legacy and past becomes present. It will take Lia and the dog park gang to prevent history from repeating itself.
