The second in the exciting new mystery series featuring ex-police dog handler Daniel Whelan - When ex-police dog handler Daniel Whelan is asked by his former boss to help a friend who is struggling to run her husband's haulage company while he is recovering from a vicious attack, he and his German shepherd, Taz, rapidly find themselves attracting the wrong sort of attention. Daniel investigates and soon finds evidence of some very nasty business indeed - but after several violent warnings, he begins to wonder . . has he bitten off more than he can chew?

Daniel's ex-colleague, police officer Joey Matsuki, has asked for his help. Joey is concerned for the safety of his fiancée, Tami, who has reported sightings of a sinister, hoodie-clad figure lurking in the area. Joey fears the involvement of a notorious local criminal recently released from prison. But with nothing concrete to go on and police resources scarce, he's asked Daniel to keep an eye on Tami on his behalf. Working undercover as Tami's temporary horsebox driver, Daniel soon begins to believe there may be more to the situation than meets the eye. As he questions Tami's friends and neighbours, it becomes clear that something is not quite right. There are things people aren't telling him; small but significant incidents that can't be explained. Events take a tragic turn when there is a fatal hit-and-run incident. But was it really an accident – and could Tami herself have been the intended target?
