Brains, guns and fists combined with an intimate understanding of dog psychology.As long as Max doesn't eat him first.

Customer Reviews

Gil Mason is not a gumshoe. He is a badass with a fur missle!

Gil is ex-military, LEO, and family man. His wife and daughter were murdered and he got the guy but not the revenge he wanted. Max his 2-year-old Belgian Malinois has a violent past and has nightmares. He isn't motivated by play, prize, or food. It is the hunt. Pilgrim is a 12-year-old German Shepherd who has done his time in law enforcement. These days he prefers to play and get belly scritches. But don't count him out. This is a story of a missing teenager and his family who didn't know the depth of the trouble he and his younger brother were in. Their little sister is the age of Gil's daughter when she was murdered. What first appears as a runaway is so much more. Lives are forever altered and Gil must find out who and why, and how to bring the toddler back alive.
