Old bones land Peter up a creek without a paddle.

Flood waters uncover bones buried for decades on Cincinnati’s Mill Creek, sparking a media sensation fueled by Detective Peter Dourson’s former fiancée. It’s a case he shouldn’t have, with media scrutiny he doesn’t want. And it’s the Dog Park Gang’s fault it landed in his lap.

Starving artist Lia Anderson has her own problems. Her new puppy is on a mission to destroy everything she owns, and a ditsy new client is driving her crazy. Worse, Peter’s ex wants to rekindle their relationship.

When the bones are tied to forgotten rumors, past becomes present. It will take Lia and the dog park gang to prevent history from repeating itself.
