Jake Martin and his Golden Retriever are drawn into another mystery when he finds a diary written by a woman who lied about a bank robbery and murder 35 years ago. Her false testimony had sent an innocent man to the gas chamber. Jake gets involved when his seventy-year-old friend and neighbor asks for his help because the person who was executed was the husband of a friend. His current investigation gets complicated when his eighteen-year-old daughter from his first marriage shows up because she isn't sure what she wants to do with her life and doesn't like Jake's girlfriend, Kelly, a sheriff deputy.

Bad things start to happen after Jake starts looking into the old bank robbery. First, Fred, his golden retriever, and best friend is dognapped; then a string of arsons and dead bodies begin to pile up, all while he tries to deal with the conflict between his daughter and girlfriend.

Just when Jake thinks he's solved the crimes, Kelly gets news from her forensics team that Jake's suspect couldn't have done it because he was dead at the time of the latest murders. Kelly is now in trouble with her boss, the sheriff, and begs Jake to butt out.

Will Jake break his promise to Bonnie and quit investigating? Of course not, but you will have to read the book to see how he manages to solve the crimes and deal with his daughter's problems, without losing his girlfriend.
