Paws, Pines and Poison

Annie Summers only wanted a Diet Coke and a quick stretch after hours on the road to Aspen Ridge. Instead, the Rosemont rest stop served up a dead man, a toppled coffee cup, and a trembling puppy who Annie quickly named Bandit—part-time purse thief, full-time partner in trouble. Lieutenant David Brooks of the Oregon State Police showed up all business, declaring Annie a person of interest and grounding her in town until the murder could be untangled. Furious or not, Annie knew one thing: she and Bandit weren’t waiting around for answers. Armed with sharp instincts (and an even sharper dog), Annie plunges into a web of secrets, small-town gossip, and clues hidden in plain sight.
