Under the Dog Star: A Rachel Goddard Mystery

Something terrifying is happening to dogs in Dr. Rachel's community. Pets are vanishing mysteriously and "missing dog" posters cover the walls at her veterinary clinic. A pack of hungry, feral canines roams at night, attacking livestock. Now a prominent physician has been found dead in his yard, his throat torn open. Sheriff's Department investigator Tom Bridger suspects the seemingly unconnected events are related to a resurgence of the old problem of illegal dogfighting. As Tom and Rachel investigate, they face two killers, one human and one canine, and discover a complex web of lies and brutality.
