Maximum Security

A dog with a bone is a dangerous thing, especially when the bone is human

Lia Anderson's escape-artist foster dog shows up with a human femur, sending Detective Peter Dourson on a hunt for the man's identity that ends with the arrest of an agreeable stranger.

Peter has the woman cold, but Lia's best patron takes the woman under her wing, and Renee insists her new friend needs help. Caught between love and livelihood, Lia isn't going to do much, just ask a few questions and hunt for the man's missing dog. Surely that will satisfy Renee and keep her in good graces with Peter.

Too bad she never considered how the killer would feel about it.
