Mystery Thriller: The Handler (Maddie Castle Thrillers Book 1)

A department is desperate for answers following the death of a police officer. Maddie Castle, who almost lost her life in the same role, must now step up and become The Handler once again in this new crime thriller series from bestselling authors L.T. Ryan and C.R. Gray.

Wounded in the line of duty, former K9 Handler Maddie Castle is forced to start over after the bullet that took her leg also took the life of her canine partner. The pain of recovery goes far beyond just the physical as she struggles to move on from the loss of her beloved job.

Returning to the trailer park she had sworn never to go back to, Castle takes on a job as a private investigator that pales in comparison to her previous career. Fighting to make ends meet and battling the constant pain in her leg, Castle fights to find her place in her new reality.

When a K9 handler from Castle's past unit is killed, she is tasked with evaluating if the dog can be saved. She knows the alternative is something she cannot live with and works tirelessly to rescue the K9, possibly saving herself in the process.

As Castle continues to hunt for the killer, she is contacted by a desperate mother searching for her missing son. This leads Castle into the dangerous criminal world of Pittsburgh, where powerful adversaries will do anything to stop her. But Castle is determined to uncover the truth, even if it means risking everything, even her own life, to expose a dark secret that could bring the entire city to its knees.

Join Maddie Castle on her journey as she navigates the blurred lines between right and wrong in her relentless quest for justice.
