McCall is an autistic bounty hunter/investigator. She's an expert in tracking down people who've eluded capture. Only … her new personal assistant, Scipio, has signed her up for a job tracking down 200 tons of missing maple syrup.
Part whodunnit and part science fiction. Think Asimov's Caves of Steel with the (very welcome) addition of a 150-pound adorable failure of a guard dog.
If Goodreads allowed half stars, I'd take half a star off for failure to include a content warning that there would be reference to horrible animal cruelty. Go ahead and kill all the fictional people you want, but if you harm one hair on a dog's head, I will never forgive you. If the dog had died, I'd have put the author straight onto my never-again list. I'm happy to report, she's going on my favourites list instead.
