The Case of the Barking Dog.

Callum Lange is a retired NYC detective who moved to 80 acres in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State to get away from crime....only to find himself getting sucked right back in. In this first story, The Case of the Barking Dog, a woman is found stabbed to death in the little village of Rockport, just a few miles up the road from Lange's yurt on Sauk Mountain, and the detective finds a group of seeds, stuck to the victim's couch, that he hopes will lead him directly to the murderer.
