Puppy Mills, Puppy Kills — Chloe Kendrick

When the police find a corpse in a barn housing an illegal puppy mill, Griffin Fitzpatrick is called in. The farm's owner has been breeding and selling expensive breeds, raking in over a million dollars. The police suspect the farmer, but need to learn who the victim was and why she was killed. There are over fifty witnesses to the crimes, but they're scared, dirty, and not used to life outside their cages…because they're all dogs.

While Griff works with one of them at home, someone tries to adopt all the dogs from the rescue organization before anyone else can. It's up to Griff to find out who killed the woman, but he's distracted by some startling facts that surface about his sister's disappearance. He just hopes he's not barking up the wrong tree.
