Corey Douglas and his K-9 partner, a German shepherd named Simon Garfunkel, are recently retired police officers turned private investigators. Along with fellow former cop Laurie Collins and her investigating partner, Marcus, they call themselves the K Team. In this second outing, Corey recognizes a murder victim from his time on the force, when he was unable to protect her in a domestic dispute. Now, he is convinced the same abusive boyfriend is responsible for her murder. With some help from Laurie's lawyer husband, the K Team is determined to prove what the police could not, but what they uncover is much more sinister than they could have imagined.

"Rosenfelt smoothly mixes humor with a sharp plot and appealing characters. This series deserves a long run."—Publishers Weekly
