Let sleeping dogs lie
(Book)

When Molly’s newest dog goes missing in Hillside Park, her Saint Berdoodle—and his amazing nose—help her track the border collie. After locating the dog, Molly literally stumbles across an old leather satchel stuffed with hundred-dollar bills. Her ex-boyfriend, Detective Miguel Vasquez, turns up to investigate and lets slip that the money could be part of the Schlossberg ransom. While the cops spread out to search the area, Molly reads about the crime, learning a wealthy man’s son was abducted on his way home from school a decade earlier. Though the father gathered the demanded ransom, neither the teen nor his kidnappers were ever found. When the cops find human bones not far from where Molly discovered the money, Vasquez asks her to bring Noodle back to search a larger swath of the brushy terrain. They find a number of miscellaneous items before the Saint Berdoodle locates a skull. When a good friend asks her to investigate, Molly dives in, questioning the missing teen’s old friends, teachers, and family. With her loyal dogs as back-up, she digs deeper, uncovering someone desperate enough to kill to keep past crimes buried. --Amazaon.
