Dr. Nightingale goes to the dogs

Veterinarian Deirdre "Didi" Quinn Nightingale hsa the birthday blues. It's her day, and it's been a disaster. First she's knee-deep in mud during a "bedside" visit to a stud pig. Then she's over he head in murder when she finds ninety-year-old Mary Hyndman shot to death at her rural upstate farm. The discovery leaves Deirdre bone-weary and still facing Mary's last request: to deliver a donation to Alsatian House, a Hudson River monastery famous for its German shepherds. Deirdre finds the retreat filled with happy dogs, smiling monks, and peace. This spur-of-the-moment vacation rejuvenates Deirdre's flagging strength and spirit until another murder tugs on her new leash on life. Deirdre's investigative skills tell her this death is linked to Mary's. But getting her teeth into this case may prove too tough for even a dauntless D.V.M.... when a killer with feral instincts brings her a hairsbreadth from death.
