Haley has withdrawn from the world and retreated into her shell
ever since her police officer dad was killed in the line of duty
a year ago. Hero is a young police dog who has been retired early
– his handler was injured in the line of duty and he cannot
seem to bond with anyone else. But when Haley and Hero
meet, two lost souls find one another.



As they settle into their new lives, they quickly learn that old
habits die hard when Hero is instantly onto a clue when
the Whittaker Diamond is stolen. And Haley is
furious when DI Doyle, a former rival of her dad's, is assigned
the case and immediately accuses ex-offender Dylan – an employee
of her mum's catering business which offers second chances
and rehabilitation.


Can Hero and Haley crack the case?

What a beautiful story this was between a girl and her dog who developed a wonderful friendship which helped relieve some of their sadness and heartbreak. This was such an emotional read which turned into a twisty crime novel.

I think anyone, young and old, who loves animal stories  will love this book.
