A thrilling police procedural set in Mount Macedon by one of the rising stars of Australian crime writing

After gunshots echo through the summer night on Mount Macedon, Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer and her loyal service dog Harry race to the summit at first light. What they find looks like a grisly murder-suicide: an alleged fraudster named Piers Johnson, and his lawyer Antony Peterson, both dead from bullet wounds, a gun lying nearby.

Something about the scene doesn't stack up. There are plenty of suspects, but no one seems to be telling the truth. Zoe's instincts are ignited, as the pressure to find and charge the culprit becomes intense. And that's when Peterson's teenage daughter Sarah is snatched off the street. The Good Dog is Zoe's toughest assignment yet, a murderous conspiracy of greed, deceit and violence. She knows that Harry may be her only chance to crack the case.

Praise for The Good Dog

A whip-smart read with a whole lot of heart. Harry the dog may well be my favourite character in crime fiction today

Loraine Peck, author of The Second Son

Just as we think we know who did what, and to whom, and why, the author Simon Rowell wrong-foots us again, and cleverly brings the past into the bright life of modern police procedure. A good ripping yarn, a good detective, and a good dog

Monaro Post

A gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

Australian Dog Lover

With multiple suspects, red herrings and twists and turns, The Good Dog is a page turner that many readers will want to read in one or two sittings as I did. It is an easy to read, engrossing story and I hope that I see more novels featuring Zoe and Harry.

The excellent writing matches the page-turning plot and great characters.
