Publication Date: April 25, 2024
Veronica possesses a natural affinity for training dogs—and a passion for locating missing people. As “Lawyers, Dogs, and Money” unfolds, Veronica trains peanut allergy alert and prison contraband sniffing dogs—and joins her search and rescue colleague, a Deputy Sheriff for Boulder County, in trying to ascertain the source of threats against Kadri Ilves, a co-worker of Sgt. Donovan’s daughter at a high-end import/export business. The woman being targeted is a native of Estonia and has a long history of advocating for social justice causes. As efforts to harm Kadri escalate in an alarming fashion, Veronica’s team and Sgt. Donovan desperately attempt to pinpoint the person behind the threats. Veronica’s father assists the investigation by researching Kadri’s background, including her work to end racial disparity in prison sentencing, and legal claims she has filed relative to disputed lands in Estonia. Has Kadri put herself in the crosshairs of the California branch of the Russian Mafia? Can Veronica and her canine partner, Leda, save Kadri before events turn deadly?
Veronica Kildare and her K-9 companions provide rescue services, along with a recent initiative to sniff out peanuts and give an alert for allergy sufferers.
Author Tracy Carter delivers the second installment in the series, Veronica Kildare K-9 Mystery, with Lawyers, Dogs, and Money. Veronica and her dog, Leda, take center stage as they help investigate who is threatening Kadri, who is originally from Estonia.
Veronica and her friends team up to determine where the threats are coming from and whether they are tied to her home country. In the process, they dig deeper into the import/export company where Kadri works. A break in the investigation leads to the solution, but not before Veronica is attacked.
The story is full of examples of how effective the dogs are in fighting crime, especially when it comes to drugs. Veronica is a strong character with a great sense of compassion.
Lawyers, Dogs, and Money delivers a good mystery coupled with plenty of dog training tips while leaving readers with a peek into what’s next for Veronica and her K-9s.
