Sinopsis

Patrick Dawlish is used to solving crimes, not being suspected of them—until now, in this Golden Age British mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
Patrick Dawlish has to admire Marion Ard’s persistence. After first writing and telephoning, she shows up on his doorstep, begging for his help. Marion is convinced that a strange man has been following her for the last seven months. Tired of the police ignoring her pleas, she has turned to Dawlish as a last resort. But Dawlish and his wife are leaving on a much-needed holiday the following morning. All he can do is ask his friend Tim Jeremy to shadow her for the next few days.  
 
Weeks into the cruise, Dawlish gets a letter from Tim. Not only was Marion being followed, but she’s disappeared. And then, her body is found—in a trunk in Dawlish’s home. Catching the next flight back, Dawlish finds himself in a position he’s never been in before—the prime suspect in a murder. With Tim missing, it becomes clear that someone has put into motion the perfect plan to take him down, but it’s never smart to count Dawlish out . . .

    When K-9 Officer Eden Mercer enrolls in an elite search and rescue training course in remote Juniper Wells, Arizona, she has a hidden agenda.

    The closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes both paths could be leading her straight into a trap. 
    Can Eden and Shadow uncover who's behind the murder before they become the next targets? Or will her desperate bid to reunite with her family cost her everything?
