      She saw something she shouldn’t have...

      A True Blue K-9 Unit story

      When airline employee Violet Griffin encounters several suspicious passengers, she’s thrust into the crosshairs of a drug smuggling operation. NYPD officer Zach Jameson and his drug detection beagle, Eddie, can tell this is no small-time threat. Someone’s gunning for Violet, and after recently losing his brother, Zach refuses to lose her, too…especially now that she’s gone from friend to the woman he’s falling for.

      “You’re not just a job, Vi.”

      Zach didn’t look at her when he said it, and she knew the words hadn’t been easy for him to get out. She gentled her tone. “I know. Thanks for everything.”

      “I’ll get you settled in at your apartment. Make sure everything’s secure.”

      She stopped when he touched her shoulder.

      “Really, Vi. Kidding aside. I want you to be careful.”

      A squealing of tires split the air. Zach’s head jerked up. A car peeled around the curve, a flash of a familiar face behind the wheel—Roach. Another person filled the passenger window, big, barrel-chested, shaved head, just like Violet described.

      Her attacker.

      Dear Reader,

      I hope you enjoyed meeting Zach, Violet and Eddie, the beagle. It was great fun to write about their adventures in the big city. Beagles are pretty fascinating animals. Their name comes from the French and means “wide throat” or “loudmouth,” which is fitting due to their irrepressible baying. Originally, beagles were bred to be very small dogs, small enough to fit in a pocket, but now they range in size from fourteen to sixteen inches tall. President Lyndon Johnson owned two beagles named Him and Her. The Department of Homeland Security employs a “Beagle Brigade” to sniff out contraband in agricultural products.

      While Eddie is the canine star, his handler, Zach, and Violet risk their lives to take some drug dealers off
