The Dogfighters: Dara Law, Forensic Veterinarian - "No Place For A Girl" Mysteries - 6114

Dr. Dara Law hates animal abuse. She would like to send abusers to the hell which they so richly deserve. But it isn’t that simple. New to her position as a university professor of veterinary medicine, Dara discovers a dying dog in the road, a dog with the unmistakable injuries of professional dog fighting. Dara begins a quiet investigation only to discover that the university bureaucracy has slotted her into a comfortable, cause-no-trouble niche. To Dara’s horror, she realizes that organized dog fighting is taking place nearby. As she goes forward with her investigation, she is threatened from all sides. “This is no place,” she is told, “for a girl.” Despite the threats, Dara recruits a rag-tag team of investigators. A handsome young cop, who is not entirely over a former relationship, is far out of his jurisdiction. Bullied by his brothers, a shy veterinary student has something to prove and the student’s effervescent girlfriend must look before she leaps. Finally, there is Dara’s veterinary technician who fled Communist Cuba only to be haunted - and hunted - by the Castro regime. When Dara is called to assist with a case of animal hoarding, she meets her match in a popular televangelist with the thundering voice of Moses, Hollywood celebrities with more money than good sense, and institutions - from the police to the news media - who desperately want to sweep everything under the rug. Risking her livelihood and her life, Dara dives deep into the culture of dog fighting where she must now fight for her own life.
