Meanwhile, a mysterious informant is determined to involve Lia's beau, Detective Peter Dourson. It's a case Peter can't touch now that Cincinnati has created a centralized unit to handle homicides. With Peter hamstrung by departmental politics and the assigned detectives barking up the wrong tree, it will take Lia and the dog park gang to unravel the truth.
