I hope everyone had a great January. Mine was fantastic. Why? Ivan Zanchetta finished the cover for Kate & Ruger's coming Hidden Valor installment & wow, is it stunning. Sure, I say that a lot about his work. But check it out; I'm sure you'll agree!
Never leave a warrior behind.
Former Deputy Kate Holland has a new job. A special investigator with the governor's office, Kate's been tasked with solving Arkansas' highest profile cases, especially those involving her fellow veterans.
Kate's faithful German Shepherd's been promoted, too. Ruger is now Kate's fully-fledged K-9 partner. Their first case? A mutilated body was found in a ditch off an interstate. Evidence points to a former US Marine.
But as Kate investigates, the name and identity surrounding that veteran's card disintegrate. Both were fake. And while their victim was military, his skillset was far more specialized. He was also still actively serving his country.
So why was he in Arkansas? And did his private, unauthorized mission lead to his death?
As Kate digs deeper, other bodies surface—along with the reason for that mission. A warrior's gone missing. And Kate will do whatever it takes to bring him home.
To preorder LAST DOG OUT, Book 4 in Kate & Ruger's Hidden Valor Military Veteran/K9 mystery series,
For those who prefer print—yes, like all my Irving mysteries & thrillers, LAST DOG OUT will be available in paperback & hardcover. But since I must have the final page counts to post those versions on my site, they won't go live until release day—Sept 1st.
