Settling into ranch life with her wire-haired dachshund, Baxter, former Wall Street trader Mags Rogers doesn't miss the world of investment banking because its destructive tentacles have reached Reno, Nevada, where desperate families are squatting in foreclosed homes without water or electricity. Mags and her gregarious great-aunt Jeep Reed want to help, but they're up against corrupt officials, ruthless politicians, and a merciless murderer. After a former banker is brutally slain, Reno deputry ahd Mag's unofficial significant other, Peter Meadows, finds evidence of blackmail, shady real estate ventrues, and other cutthroate business practices, but the killer seems to hold all the cards. Luckily Mags' German Shepyerd, King, and some other canine detectives are off the leash and on the hunt.
