A criminal on the run and a dog on his trail.
Luke, his friend Kenny, and his Australian Shepherd Bandit attempt to stop a robbery in progress—with disastrous results. Now the criminal is loose in their small forest town of Crystal Falls, and the wrong man is taking the fall for the theft.
Will Luke and Bandit find the real culprit and stop him before a far worse crime is committed?
The only thing between Luke Cooper and a murder rap is his dog.
The loss of his job sends Luke crawling back to his hometown with his dog, Bandit. Desperate for cash, he agrees to be the subject of his uncle's lab experiment.
When he wakes up, his uncle is dead—and his dog is talking to him.
Since the police find only Luke at the scene of the murder, things aren't looking good for him. Fortunately, Bandit finds a clue that might lead to the true killer.
With the help of his mom, his childhood friend, and his chatty dog, Luke searches for the murderer...but can he find the truth before he ends up in jail?

Acknowledgments
I thank God for the ability and opportunity to write books. Storytelling is such an enjoyable part of my life. Stories in books, movies, and shows have given me inspiration, adventure, laughter, entertainment, and lifted me up when I was down. I’m so grateful to write my own stories and I hope to provide the same positive impact to others.
Thanks to my wife and best friend Jolene for her support and priceless help brainstorming, reviewing rough drafts, catching typos, laughing at my jokes, and encouraging me every step of the way.
Special appreciation goes out to YourConfidentCreations.com for the wonderful editing skills of Nicole Shultz and the cover art, formatting, and general publishing wizardry of Kyle Robert Shultz. They are an amazing team that produces publishing magic.
Also, thank you to Officer Joe Marks for all his patience and help with my police procedure questions. And thank you to my small but mighty beta reader team: Jolene R, Brett K, Taylor W, Jon R, and James W.
All my love to Jolene, Joshua, and Katie.
