The Right Side: A Novel (For Mystery and Suspense Fans)

LeAnne Hogan returns from Afghanistan as a deeply damaged soldier. Missing an eye and severely scarred, she struggles with fragmented memories of a disastrous desert operation and questions whether the fault was hers. Confused and angry, she can barely function in her changed body and mind. After her hospital roommate Marci dies suddenly, LeAnne drives across the country in a state of despair. She arrives in a rain-soaked small town in Washington State where Marci lived, only to discover that Marci's eight-year-old daughter has disappeared. When a stray dog—powerful, dark, and unreadable—seems to adopt LeAnne, an unexpected connection forms that shifts something within her. Obsessed with finding the missing girl, LeAnne and her canine companion are drawn into danger as dark and menacing as her last Afghan mission. This time, she has a strange but loyal fellow traveler protecting her blind side. As LeAnne searches for redemption and purpose, she and her dog navigate perils that test her in ways combat never did.
