Description
Barbra Sims has just bought a fully furnished house. She doesn't realize that what lies within an old desk drawer will send her on a new career path.
The former owner, Jerry Simmons, was a private investigator. He died of a heart attack and left behind some highly intriguing case notes. Barbra notices a photo in one of his files of a man with the fearful gaze of someone being hunted. His face, plus the few mysterious notes in his file, grip Barbra's curiosity. She begins to consider continuing what Jerry started.
A big, friendly dog shows up on Barbra's porch. Her neighbor, Sam, informs her that the dog's name is Sydney, and he was Jerry's investigative sidekick. The dog quickly wins Barbra over and moves back into the house. It turns out that Sydney has his own story to tell, and he gets several chapters of his own to do just that.
An encounter with Jerry's former assistant, Alissa Sterling, sets the idea of continuing Jerry's work in motion. They team up to solve the man's case, as well as one far more important to Alissa. She believes that Jerry's death was no ordinary heart attack: it was murder.
A piece of furniture in the house soon serves as evidence, which they must surrender to the police. Though warned by the cops to end their investigation, they can't avoid pursuing their prime suspect when his name surfaces in a seemingly unrelated case.
Sydney repeatedly tries to lead the two women toward Jerry's killer. After a couple of frantic canine attempts, the women begin to listen to what he is trying so desperately to tell them. Alissa's desire for justice, combined with Sydney's keen sense of evil, leads them all down a dangerous path toward the truth about Jerry's death.
