Dead man's best friend

"They won't stop digging. Dodge, a retired police dog, and Cassie, his girl, are the perfect mystery-solving pair. But now the deadly case that cost Dodge his job is being reopened...and Cassie's mom, the chief of police, is the number one suspect! Dodge and Cassie know that The Chief could never be guilty of a crime, and so they set out to clear her name. But the more they uncover, the more questions they have. What's a detective doing with police equipment when he's off duty? Whose footsteps (or paws) do they keep hearing behind them? Why does it feel like there's something The Chief isn't telling them? As Dodge and Cassie dig deeper, it seems like there are more and more people who want to stop them from finding answers--and maybe even want to put them six feet under. But this dog and his girl always get to the bottom of their case!"--Back cover. A "borrowed" police file reveals Cassie's mom is being accused of negligence in ordering a raid that ended in the death of an officer, and Cassie can't believe her mom would make that kind of mistake.
