Then Rexs rookie mistake during a catastrophic explosion on the space dock sends Charlie to the ICU.Now Rex is truly all alone. Without Charlie hes sidelined. Written off by the humans. But his keen senses picked up a vital clue on the space dock that the investigation needs know. He must get the humans to listen somehow!Rex doesnt realize that larger forces are at work. The XK9s are more than just forensic tools and theyre more than their new owners the Orangeboro Police Department ever bargained for. When Rex accidentally unmasks a disturbing secret he blows open an international conspiracy that could destabilize the entire System--and places himself his Pack and all XK9s everywhere in mortal peril.
