How could the girl he knew grow up to be the woman the media are calling “The Black Widow of Birch Valley?” 
    Can he and his clue-sniffing golden retriever Rochester dig up the details that might acquit Peggy, while avoiding the slippery slope of hacking that could cause him to lose everything he cares for? Trust Rochester to keep Steve on the straight and narrow, and bring the real killer to justice.
