The Wrong Dog: A Rachel Alexander Mystery (Rachel Alexander Series 5)

About this book

From former detective turned noted author and dog trainer Carol Lea Benjamin comes the fifth book in the critically-lauded Rachel Alexander mystery series for the first time in mass market. Sophie Gordon didnt let her epilepsy get in the way of her life as a teacher of deaf children. But without her trusty canine companion an indispensable service dog named Blanche she wouldnt be nearly as well-off. A service dog that can perform the difficult tasks that epilepsy requires--sensing when a seizure is about to occur and fetching life-saving medication--is extremely rare so when a veterinarians office promises that they can clone Blanche Sophie jumps at the opportunity. Her former worries can now be put to rest knowing that now shell have a replacement for Blanche when the time comes. But the puppy they provided didnt have what it takes to be a service dog and when Sophie visits the vet to alert them of the problem none of the staff is anywhere to be found--theyve disappeared without a trace. To get to the bottom of this clone-by-night operation Sophie hires P.I. Rachel Alexander and Dash her pit bull partner. And two days after meeting with Rachel Sophie is found dead apparently of a seizure but it didnt take Dashs sensitive nose to tell that something doesnt smell right and that the missing vets definitely need further examination.
