Silent Night: A Raine Stockton Dog Mystery;

A Christmas Raine Stockton Dog Mystery

"An exciting, original and suspense-laden whodunit...A simply fabulous mystery starring a likeable, dedicated heroine..."

--Midwest Book Review on the Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries

It's Christmas time, and for Raine Stockton and her Search and Rescue dog, Cisco, Hansonville, North Carolina is just like a Norman Rockwell painting-- except for the rash of thefts of baby Jesus figurines from nativity scenes, an abandoned box of golden retriever puppies that someone leaves beside her mailbox, and a mysterious gift from one of Cisco's a grateful admirers. Raine already has her hands full with her own misbehaving pooches, unexpected house guests, and a complicated new relationship. But when a newborn is abandoned in the manger of the town's living nativity and Raine walks in on what appears to be the scene of a murder, she has more to worry about than keeping the Christmas spirit alive.
