A Bone to Pick

<p><strong>Too valuable to kill? Oh but that was then.</strong></p><p>XK9 Rex was bio-engineered and cyber-enhanced to be the most perfect law enforcement canine ever created. Transmondian spymaster Col. Wisniewski thought he could turn him into the most perfect weapon.</p><p>But Rex had other plans. Wisneiwski couldn't bend him to his will. The Colonel would have killed any other dog but Rex was too valuable. Instead Rana Station paid a literal fortune to add him and his XK9 Pack to the Orangeboro Police Department.</p><p>Now Rex and his Pack are working detectives on the trail of a criminal gang that blows up spaceships - and Rana Station has recognized XK9s as uplifted sapient beings. That means it's illegal to buy them so they've stopped paying that literal fortune. And this gives Col. Wisniewski a new license to kill.</p><p>How far must Rex go to dodge his old enemy's deadly intent and also crack the case?</p>
