Dog Bless You: A Golden Retriever Mystery: Volume 4 (Golden Retriever Mysteries) - Softcover

Autumn has come to Bucks County, and Steve Levitan has a new job: develop a conference center for Eastern College at Friar Lake, a few miles from campus. But on his first visit to the property, his golden retriever Rochester makes a disturbing discovery, a human hand rising from the dirt at the lake’s shore. Whose hand is it? Why was the body buried there? The answers will take Steve, his photographer girlfriend Lili, and the ever-faithful Rochester to a drop-in center for recovering drug addicts on the Lower East Side, a decaying church in Philadelphia’s Germantown, and finally to a confrontation with a desperate killer.

I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where the golden retriever mysteries are set, and I began writing these books because I fell in love-- with a dog. My golden retriever, Samwise, was my faithful companion for twelve years, and somewhere in the middle of that love affair I thought about writing a book about a guy and his dog. That evolved into In Dog We Trust, the first of my mysteries. Sam crossed over the rainbow bridge a few years ago, but he lives on in my heart and in these books. Now I am the proud papa of two goldens, Brody and Griffin, and they inspire me every day.
