A Mystery Thriller (Maddie Castle Thrillers Book 1)

Former K9 Handler Maddie Castle finds herself back at square one, wounded in the line of duty. The bullet that shredded her leg took the life of her four-legged partner, and the pain of recovery goes well beyond the daily physical torment she endures. Time, the supposed healer of all wounds, has not proven true in Castle's case. In a hail of gunfire, she lost not only her dog, but the one thing she loved above all else – the job.

Castle is now back home in the trailer park she vowed never to return to, and taking a job as a private investigator has proven an unrewarding comparative to her former career. Barely making ends meet and hampered by the ever-present pain in her leg, Castle struggles to keep her footing in her new life.

A K9 handler from Castle's old unit is gunned down, and she is called in to assess whether the dog can be rehabilitated. The alternative is a consequence Castle can't live with. Working to save the K9 might just well save Castle from herself.

As the hunt for the killer continues, Castle receives a call from a desperate mother searching for her missing son. The hunt for the boy leads Castle into the criminal underbelly of Pittsburgh, where powerful players who will stop at nothing stand in her way. Behind them lies the truth, and getting to it may cost her everything, including her life, as she seeks to expose a dark secret that could bring a city to its knees.
