A Dog Called Hero

– his handler was injured in the line of duty and he cannot
seem to bond with anyone else. But when Haley and Hero
meet, two lost souls find one another.

As they settle into their new lives, they quickly learn that old
habits die hard when Hero is instantly onto a clue when
the Whittaker Diamond is stolen. And Haley is
furious when DI Doyle, a former rival of her dad's, is assigned
the case and immediately accuses ex-offender Dylan – an employee
of her mum's catering business which offers second chances
and rehabilitation.
