Synopsis

Holly Winter, the malamute trainer, knows she's not the only Holly Winter living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but it would be so much nicer if Holly number two weren't a dog-hating academic... and if a third woman calling herself Holly Winter didn't just happen to be dead. Holly number one can attest to this unfortunate fact, having discovered the gunned-down body while searching for a missing Siberian husky.
Another missing dog - this time a blue malamute - is somehow tied to this tangled web, as are a naive dog-walker and a Harley-riding stranger who mistook Holly for the dead woman mere hours before the victim was found. Now, with her husband, Steve, away on a camping trip and her other human housemates otherwise occupied, Holly and her prizewinning pups will have to bring the case to heel on their own - before a killer sniffs them out.

From Publishers Weekly

In Conant's entertaining 18th Dog Lover's mystery (after 2006's Gaits of Heaven), Holly Winter, Massachusetts malamute trainer and dog columnist, goes searching for a missing dog, a Siberian husky named Strike, and instead finds a woman's corpse. In the victim's possession are personal papers belonging to Holly and another Cambridge-area Holly Winter, suggesting the woman may have been indulging in a little identity theft. Even stranger, when Holly finally finds Strike, she turns out to be a rare blue Alaskan malamute with Holly's name and phone number on her tag. The two living Holly Winters must deal with their mutual dislike as they hurl into a hair-raising conflict connected to a crooked former dog breeder who'll stop at nothing to get what he wants. Conant includes a lot of insider doggy details and lovingly depicts Holly's interactions with her malamutes, Kimi, Rowdy and young pup Sammy. Sammy and Rowdy's courageous defense of Holly when the killer catches up to her will have dog lovers cheering. (Nov.)
