A normal day at the dog park is disrupted when Mooky, a black lab comes bounding out of the woods with a human leg bone in her mouth. Retired Secret Service agent, Vivien Szabo, who is the owner of Mooky is pulled into this cozy-style, mystery- thriller where her friends and neighbors all become murder suspects. The story is told through the eyes of Mooky and Vivien, who also finds herself involved with one of the Washington Metro Police detectives assigned to the case. Set in a local dog park in Washington, DC, the tale spins through racial tension, lust and hidden desires while focusing on the often off-kilter, canine-centric, social dynamic of the dog park.
