In Carraway, Colorado, the dog park has three rules: pick up after your pet, keep them leashed until you reach the run, and don't dig up the town councilman.

Rosie the basset hound just broke rule three.

Now Lorraine Mercer (66, former PI, widow, not ready to be put out to pasture) is on the case. She's joined by Cecil Ashby, a retired funeral director who's buried half the town and knows where all the secrets went with them, and Dixie Farrow, a stroke survivor and a total wildcard with a sharp tongue, a sharper mind, and zero patience for nonsense.

The victim? Wade Purcell -- councilman, construction magnate, and the most hated man in three counties. He was corrupt, ruthless, and made enemies the way other people make small talk. The trick isn't finding someone with motive. It's finding anyone in town who didn't want him dead.

The sheriff's investigation has stalled. The suspect list keeps growing. And sometimes it takes three seniors with bad knees, good instincts, and absolutely nothing better to do to find the truth.

For fans of The Thursday Murder Club who like their mysteries cozy, their amateur sleuths seasoned, and their dogs poorly behaved.
