Search and Rescue Cozy Mysteries

Sometimes the best detectives… Have fur. Evelyn Foster has just moved to Granite, Michigan, and at first, the town is just as she expected it to be. Small. Insular. Quiet.

When her younger dog, Atlas, alerts on a patch of dirt while they're out for a walk, Evelyn's heart rate accelerates, but she tries to keep things in perspective. The pup's job is to locate human remains, but he's still in training, and Eve is certain he must have made a mistake, but she contacts the police just to be on the safe side. When a man, whom everyone thought had run out on his wife, is unearthed, the sleepy town suddenly wakes up and Eve finds herself reluctantly swept into a murder investigation. Will she be able to unravel the mystery and become the talk of the town? Find out in this dynamic new Canine Cozy Mystery!

Excited to get him started, Eve is entirely baffled when Atlas completely ignores repeated commands to search and keeps circling back around to one of the volunteers, a man from Marquette. It seems as though Atlas is more interested in the treats that he can smell in the man's pocket than in doing his job. Disappointed and frustrated, Eve is on the verge of giving up and going home but decides to trust Atlas' instincts. She asks the volunteer from Marquette if they can search him and his vehicle. The volunteer agrees and Atlas gives a hard alert when he's taken to the volunteer's trunk. Atlas passes his test with flying colors when the trunk is opened, and a body is discovered. The volunteer claims that he is innocent, and he is eventually allowed to leave, but Eve suspects that he knows more than he's letting on. Can she team up with her canine buddies and crack the case?
