    It doesn't take a clue-sniffing Golden Retriever's sense of smell to know something is up.  
Semi-reformed computer hacker Steve Levitan’s long-time girlfriend, Lili, is acting out of character, and he's eager to figure out why and how he can help her. But that gets delayed when he and his golden retriever Rochester are asked to help investigate a double homicide in a posh neighborhood of Stewart's Crossing.  
Boris and Natalya Krimsky were both murdered in their mansion, and Steve's early forays into their personal data reveals many suspects. A fellow physicist Boris may have cheated out of millions and cousins betrayed by the American dream the Krimskys facilitated. But as Steve and Rochester delve deeper, they find that the motive to kill the couple might have a far more disturbing origin, and catching the killer requires Steve to bend all his rules as a semi-reformed hacker.  
With wit, heart, and canine antics, the team goes nose to the ground to bring a killer to justice, and to give Steve a new perspective on what makes a family.
