ONE BARK FOR MURDER​

This is the first book of a series centered around Dr. Ruby Stone, a geologist working for the state of Texas.  Ruby finds a mixed Border collie named Roo who can sniff out dead bodies and contamination.  For this novel, the murder scene and the geologic  setting (Trinity Aquifer and Bartlett Shale) take place in a fictitious town near Fort Worth, Texas.  Dr. Stone is the project manager for the removal of an illegal gigantic above ground landfill and associated surface water and groundwater contamination.  With the help of her newly found puppy, Roo, Ruby discovers two old murders and must battle wits with a crazed killer.

One Bark for Murder is being revised and will be re-released with Two Barks for Bad Water.  Both will be released soon.   

A movie script for One Bark for Murder is also available upon request.   

TWO BARKS FOR BAD WATER

This is the second book of the series.  Ruby and Roo investigate groundwater contamination threatening the water supply (Edwards Aquifer) of a small town in the Texas Hill Country, northwest of San Antonio.  Roo leads Ruby to a dead body.  Roo's nose and Ruby's geologic evidence say it was no accident and become the target for a relentless killer.
