Near a bayou a small muddy dog is the only witness to a brutal Gulf Coast Killing. Veterinarian Kerry Allen can identify that dog long before her lover, Sheriff Frank Borth, can be sure of the corpse's name. Unraveling this dangerous puzzle jars Kerry out of her clinic routine into the combative, slippery world of law enforcement. Set against the folklore and notorious history of Biloxi, the story tells of people as colorful as the fun-loving Mississippi Gulf Coast.
