  Ben Gibson is living the dream. Married to his high school sweetheart and with two beautiful young children, he’s also achieved his ultimate goal of becoming a member of the elite Victoria Police Dog Squad. For Ben life just couldn’t be better! 
  But disaster strikes when his canine partner, Duke, is killed in the line of duty. Then, as he slowly recovers from the loss of Duke, disaster strikes again when his wife and daughter are tragically killed in a car accident. As Ben struggles to overcome his own feelings of devastation, he is also faced with the reality of being a sole parent to his eight-year-old son Cooper. 
  He feels he has no choice but to quit the job he loves in order to care for his son, until his boss steps in and presents him with the opportunity to make a fresh start. Still wracked with grief he accepts the challenge to become the first police dog handler to relocate to country Victoria. 
  He reluctantly leaves his son in the care of his father and mother-in-law while he completes a six-month trial period in the Central Victoria town of Clarkdale. Overcoming the initial doubters amongst the locals that a city-boy can cope in the country, Ben and his police dog Sabre set about showing their worth. 
  From detecting drug stashes concealed in cars to tracking down violent criminals and apprehending armed and dangerous offenders, Ben and Sabre quickly become an invaluable asset to the local police members and prove that, even with the many technological advances in crime detection, nothing matches the skill and tenacity of a well-trained police dog team.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
