When an old college friend reaches out for help, Steve Levitan finds himself entangled in a web of financial fraud, murder, and family secrets in this riveting new mystery novel by Neil S. Plakcy.
Once a computer hacker with a prison record, Steve has turned his life around with the help of his loyal golden retriever, Rochester. But his newfound peace is shattered when Doug Guilfoyle, a former classmate, asks him to investigate suspicious activity at the investment firm where he works. Before Steve can unravel the mystery, Doug is found dead in the local canal - an apparent suicide.
Refusing to believe Doug would take his own life, Steve digs deeper into the case, uncovering a tangled web of deception, insider trading, and murder. With the help of his police detective friend Rick and the clever nose of Rochester, Steve follows the clues from the picturesque Pennsylvania countryside to the cutthroat world of Wall Street.
As the body count rises and old secrets come to light, Steve must use all his skills - both as a computer expert and an amateur sleuth - to crack the case and clear Doug's name before the killer strikes again. Along the way, he grapples with his own past mistakes and the true meaning of integrity.
Filled with humor, heart, and suspense, Honest to Dog is the seventh book in Neil S. Plakcy's popular Golden Retriever Mystery series. Fans of cozy mysteries and dog lovers alike will delight in this engaging page-turner that proves when it comes to loyalty and friendship, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
