Author Steve Whitman introduces Detective Shaker Madison and his loyal K-9 partner, Barrett. Together, the pair must hunt down a vicious serial killer before he can strike again.
Shaker Madison first encounters the violent murderer while working for the Harrisburg police when someone strangles a prostitute and stuffs the woman into a suitcase, dumping her body down by the river. Additionally, the mayor and police chief don't want to admit there's a homicidal maniac on the loose in their city, even as the bodies start piling up.
To make matters even worse, before Madison can find the killer, his wife and unborn child are killed causing his drinking and drug abuse to spiral out of control. Eventually, Madison loses his badge and drifts back home to Middleton, Maine.
There, he meets Barrett, a part German shepherd, part wolf pup that will change his life forever. As Madison trains Barrett to serve as a K-9 officer, he gets a second chance at life and to crack the case. However, both of them must enter a dark and unforgiving world of jealousy, hatred and murder, but with Barrett by his side, Madison is determined to find the killer and expose the truth!
