PIgface and The Perfect Dog: An Oak Grove Mystery - Judy Alter - Bog

A college student, dead, in an empty pasture. Rifle-carrying strangers in the local grocery store. An irresistible and loveable Labrador puppy. These add up to trouble for Susan Hogan, associate professor of English at Oak Grove (Texas) University, and her partner, Jake, Chief of Campus Security. Susan's independent investigation involves a shooting, a break-in, vandalism, threats, a clandestine spy trip to the woods, and an attempted kidnapping. Throughout, she trips over-and trips up-law enforcement investigation, to Jake's ongoing frustration. Small college towns just aren't always as peaceful as they are billed.
