The Rescue

A new and beguiling thriller from three-time Edgar Award-winner and New York Times bestselling author T. Jefferson Parker.

While reporting on Mexican street dogs in a Tijuana shelter, journalist Bettina Blazak falls in love with one of the dogs. She impulsively adopts the dog, who is recovering from being shot in the leg, and brings him home to Laguna Beach.

In investigating the dog's past for a follow-up to her now gone viral story, Bettina discovers that his life is nothing like what she assumed. For one thing, he's not a Mexican street dog at all. A former DEA drug-sniffing dog, he's led a very colorful, dangerous, and profitable life. Bettina's viral posts about the dog and the clinic bring out some interesting people, making the dog a target--again.

Bettina soon finds herself drawn into a deadly criminal underworld from which she and her beloved dog may not return.
