Murder in the Dog Park: Bad Girl. Good Cop. Bad Dog. in Bloomington, MN

Discovering a brutally murdered boy in a rainy dog park sends misanthropic private detective Jane Ronson on a journey through Baltimore's gritty underbelly. Aided by a sexy cop, a bad-ass bull terrier and an only-in-Baltimore cast of characters, cynical Jane must use her computer-hacking and street-fighting skills to save her sad-sack cousin from being framed as the killer.
Fellow writers say: "Tough chick Jane Ronson is a butt-kicking new heroine. With her help from her doggie Doppelganger, she hacks away at the grime and glory of Baltimore's streets. Think Lisbeth Salander meets John Waters"; "Jill Yesko's tightly woven debut delivers as much bite as bark. A fresh protagonist, a lovable bull terrier sidekick, and enough plot twists and turns to make this more than just a great walk in the park"; and "Jill Yesko brings a bracing new point of view, with a protagonist who resembles a latter-day, female Mickey Spillane parachuting into Smalltimore's ritziest neighborhoods."
