Descripción: When Molly Madison, dog-wrangler extraordinaire, stumbles upon a murder in her new hometown, she must track down a killer to save the day.Ex-police officer and former P.I. Molly Madison is starting over. After the death of her husband, she and her golden retriever, Harlow, move cross-country to California. But as charming and peaceful as the beachside town seems, she soon learns its tranquil tides hold dark secrets.On her first day in the new house, a large, slobbering Saint Berdoodle wanders in. Molly winds up taking on the responsibility of training Noodle since his owner is too busy to do the job. On one of their daily beachside walks, Noodle digs up a severed hand. Once Molly alerts the police and they run a background check on her, an incident from her past makes her an immediate suspect—after all, Noodle’s testimony to clear her name won’t hold much water in court.To prove her innocence, Molly must rely on instincts keener than a canine’s to sniff out the real killer.

I winced as the two muscle-bound men, dressed in matching navy-blue uniforms, wrestled the antique ship captain's desk through the front door. "It was my great-grandfather's." In reality, it had belonged to something like my great-great-great-great-grandfather. But why would they care? Nor would they care that Mom insisted I take the desk-part of a misguided effort to show she believed I'd move back to Massachusetts one day.My golden retriever, Harlow, tail waving, practically vibrated with her desire to meet these potential new friends."Stay."
