Deadly secrets, loyal dogs, and a vet with nothing left to lose.

Veterinarian Dr. Casey Gibbons came to Gold Valley for a fresh start—not a murder investigation.

When her mentor and best friend, Dr. Shelley Capra, is found dead in her kitchen, everyone assumes it was an accident.
Everyone except Casey. The wound looks wrong. The scene feels staged. And Shelley was chasing down something big—a secret buried deep in the local pet trade.

Now Casey and her sharp-nosed Boxer, Scout, are following the trail Shelley left behind: cryptic notes, a tangled web of puppy mills, and a growing list of suspects with something to hide. As she edges closer to the truth, Casey realizes she’s not just fighting for justice—she’s fighting to stay alive.

With wit as dry as California wine and a heart as big as her bark, Casey is a sleuth you’ll root for to the last page.

Who killed Shelley Capra? And what else is hiding in this quiet mountain town?

Find out in On Monday the Boxer Howled—a thrilling first entry in the Casey & Scout Mystery series that will leave you howling for more.
