Last Dog Out (Hidden Valor #4)

Never leave a warrior behind.

Former Deputy Kate Holland has a new job. A special investigator with the governor's office, Kate's been tasked with solving Arkansas' highest profile cases, especially those involving her fellow veterans.

Kate's faithful German Shepherd's been promoted, too. Ruger is now Kate's fully-fledged K-9 partner. Their first case? A mutilated body was found in a ditch off the interstate. Evidence points to a former US Marine.

But as Kate investigates, the name and identity surrounding that veteran's card disintegrate. Both were fake. While their victim was military, his skillset was far more specialized. He was also still actively serving his country.

So why was he in Arkansas? And did his private, unauthorized mission lead to his death?

As Kate digs deeper, other bodies surface—along with the reason for that mission. A warrior's gone missing. And Kate will do whatever it takes to bring him home.

Written by a former US Navy Lt., Last Dog Out is Book 4 in the gritty Hidden Valor Military Psychological Suspense Series and features Ruger—Kate's 3-year-old German Shepherd.

PLEASE There is a dog, but this is not a cozy mystery series. Cursing & gritty, graphic crime scenes abound throughout the Hidden Valor books. This series also contains a raw and honest portrayal of the themes of PTSD & suicide. If you like strong female protagonists and seriously gritty, complex suspense that twists and turns all the way to The End—you'll love Candace Irving's Last Dog Out, a 145,000-word military mystery/suspense featuring Kate Holland and her K-9 partner.
