"This mystery will sink its fangs into your funny bone and drag you along by a leash of laughter." — Denise Swanson, New York Times Bestselling Author

Dog walking seemed like an innocent job... but the mob has its paws in everything.

I'm Lucie Rizzo, former investment banker. Status: unemployed.

It's been a hard fall from grace, and now I'm back living with my mother while I try to piece my life together. Everything I've done has been to escape my mob-infested family, but here I am, right back where I started.

Determined to turn things around, I took a part-time job walking dogs for wealthy clients, and that sparked an idea to launch my own pet accessory line. Just as I'm getting my footing, my smoking-hot ex, Frankie Falcone, decides he wants a do-over. He's got his own ties to "the Family," but I'm hardly in a position to judge.

What I'm worried about are the kidnappings. Or rather, petnappings. Someone's snatching dogs, and all of them belong to my high-end clients.

One stolen dog is bad enough. Three is a pattern. If this keeps up, I'll be out of business in days and a prime suspect on the ASPCA's radar. My only option? Solve this mess myself and make sure the dogjacking culprits end up right where they belong—in a cell.
