Police K-9 units at work

Citizen K-9 (K Team series #3) ~ by David Rosenfelt, 2022, mystery, 270 pages

The Paterson Police Department has created a cold case division, and they want to hire the private investigators known as the K Team to look into the crimes.  Corey Douglas and his K-9 partner, German shepherd Simon Garfunkel, recently retired from the force.  Plus, another K Team member, Laurie Collins, used to be a cop as well.

Their first cold case hits home for the K Team.  A decade ago, at Laurie's tenth high school reunion, two of their friends simply vanished.  At the time Laurie had just left the force, and Corey was in a different department, so they had no choice but to watch from the sidelines.  With no leads, the case went cold.

As the team starts to delve deeper into the events leading up to that night — reopening old wounds along the way — the pieces start to come together.  But someone wants to stop them from uncovering the truth behind the disappearance, by any means necessary.

Manhunt outside my window?

Four police cars, one of which was a K-9 unit, were right out my window Saturday night as it neared midnight.  Sirens had been screaming up and down the highway — where you can see a lit up billboard — but I have no idea what was going on.  The car on the Centennial Greenway sidewalk out my window arrived driving on that sidewalk, rather than on the street.  I still don't know who or what they were searching for, using not only the K-9 dog (in that middle car) but also a lighted drone overhead.  Who needs a television when I can have live drama just outside my window?  The only problem is that, without audio, I have no closure and no idea what happened.  For that, I need a book.  So I requested that K-9 book above from my library.  I think the storyline looks good, and I should receive the book in my next library delivery.
