A standalone. No Elvis Cole. No Joe Pike. Still the Los Angeles Police department. Maggie was a bomb detecting dog in Afghanistan who loses her Alpha to a suicide bomber and gets shot in the process. She is shipped back to the US to become a LA police dog. Her partner Scott is equally damaged. He gets shot up and his partner killed in a shoot out downtown. The case is still open nine months later with no leads. It is up to Scott and Maggie to solve the case.
This book was the sherbert that cleansed my pallet after 'Wide Open' A quick fun read. Following the current trend of books that have chapters devoted to the dogs point of view, Crais delves into the psyche of Maggie and what she is thinking. If I hadn't read the books by Hearnes and Spenser Quin, it probably would have been a lot more novel.
Now off to read about a monk and a monkey.
