All Vi Akiak wanted when she came to Spokane was to earn her medical degree, get a job in the medical examiner's office, and keep her biggest secret safe. She didn't plan her attraction to Kate Renard, the beautiful K9 search and rescue handler who lived next door, and she really didn't plan on chasing a serial killer.
Kate is delighted when Vi moves in next door. She's attractive, fascinating, and best of all, she likes dogs. When dead bodies start turning up in forested recreational areas around Spokane, Vi and Kate must work together to find the killer before they end up the next targets. In the race for survival, they discover that love may be the biggest risk of all.
