For Officer Pete Murphy, K9 duty is as much a punishment as a promotion. When a shaky arrest reignites a recent scandal and triggers a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, all eyes are on Pete as the department braces for another media firestorm. Meanwhile, Pete's eleven-year-old son Joel feels invisible. His parents hardly notice him--unless they're arguing about his "behavioral problems"--and his older sister, McKenna, has lately disappeared into the strange and frightening world of teenagerdom. About the only friend Joel has left is Butchie, his father's furry "partner." When Joel and Butchie follow McKenna to a neighborhood bully's party, illegal activity kicks the dog's police training into overdrive, and soon the duo are on the run, navigating the streets of Chicago as they try to stay one step ahead of the bad guys--bad guys who may have a very personal interest in getting some payback on Officer Pete Murphy. 650 0 $a Police $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Police dogs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Race relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vendetta $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418111130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=24808BF4240011E78AE259E3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
