Robert Crais is known for his crime novels featuring Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, which I have to admit I have never read. Someone recommended this stand alone work and I was quickly pulled into the story, not because of the mystery and the suspense but because of the friendship between Maggie and Scott. Maggie is a military dog that survived three tours in Iraq before losing her handler to an IED explosion. Scott belongs to the LAPD and loses his partner in a brutal shootout, blaming himself for not being able to save her. They have become each other's last chance and the relationship brings you to tears. The story goes into great detail about the training of police and military dogs and the bond they form with their partner. How can you not love a great dog story?
