BETTER THAN AVERAGE - STRONG PLOT W/MYSTERY

Ah, a story with some depth to it. Detective Nick Cantello comes back from a fishing weekend to find that his partner, Julio Valdez is dead. Julio and Lilia Valdez were as close to him as any family could be. Now Lilia is widowed with two children. Shift Lieutenant Joe Lansky had to job of informing Nick of his partner's death. Nick didn't like T.J. Knox for his comments or his father Sergeant Richard Knox. Captain Emil Girard told Nick to go home. He refused and was ready to offer his resignation. Girard backed down but told Nick he needed a backup if he was going to investigate Julio's questionable "accident". Lara Nelson and her K-9 shepard, Sadie were appointed as his back-up. The Nelsons raise and train dogs for K-9 work - search and rescue - drug search - bomb search. And the daughters, Kate, Lara and Lindsey all work with the dogs. [See Lindsey's story in THE REPLACEMENT 7/03]. Nick is searching for Julio's "killer" and learning more about his aunt Magda Cantello, who raised him. Who was she really? Was her death somehow involved? And who wanted him and Lara out of the way? What had Julio learned? The three men about to retire, Knox, Girard and Lansky, were having Julio write their retirement speech. Death and lose of family is hard to take for anyone but especially for Nick and compassionate Lara, having lost her fiance the previous year, offered her sympathy and her body. Yup! she is pg. [this scene makes sense] The mystery and the intrigue and the startling results keep you reading each chapter, anxiously awaiting the results. This is one of the better romance stories out there. Would make a great movie. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -m Should be a keeper. [Now all we need is Kate's story with her dog, Lexie - a bomb sniffer.]
