She's known in the community as a strong and compassionate woman who will do whatever is necessary to rescue a dog: even if it means venturing out into the beautiful but harsh desert surrounding the city. Then one day, Abby becomes known for something else: murder. When she stops over at a friend's house to feed his dog, Abby finds a body. With the police watching her every move, Abby's work rescuing dogs leads her to cross paths with a serial killer prowling the desert looking for undocumented border crossers.

Full of caring, hardworking, quirky characters, fascinating stories of dog rescue, a gorgeous but also turbulent setting, and of course, murder, Death by Doggie Door will delight readers interested in a variety of subjects wrapped in the escapist fun of a strong protagonist solving mysteries.
