Dog trainer Raine Stockton and her happy-go-lucky golden
retriever Cisco have been looking forward to the opening weekend of AKC
competitive agility all winter. They
travel to the low country of South Carolina to compete against some of the top
dogs in the southeast for blue ribbons, squeaky toys, and perhaps even that
elusive title of High in Trial. But even
in this carefree atmosphere of high-spirited dogs and dedicated owners ambition
runs high, and when one of the competitors is found brutally murdered it begins to
look as though corruption might have penetrated even this last bastion
of decency and sportsmanship, the AKC.
While Raine and Cisco stalk a killer, a twenty-year old
mystery is unfolding back home that will have devastating consequences for
Raine and those she loves, and every
hour that passes brings a deadly threat closer.
The print version of HIGH IN TRIAL also features the bonus short story, ALL THAT GLITTERS.
High in Trial features three dogs whose owners were alert enough last year to enter a contest in which the prize was a chance to have a canine character named after your dog in the next Raine Stockton Dog Mystery. Although I had originally intended to mention each dog only once, they ended up becoming major players in the mystery. This is what happens when you get too attached to your characters! And who knows? I may offer a similar contest in the future, so watch for your dog's chance to be a star.
