Lost Dog

Lost Dog is the first book in the Skin Kadash mystery series.

Published in 2007, Lost Dog was a Left Coast Crime Rocky Award nominee [1] and a finalist for the 2008 Spotted Owl Award for best mystery in the Pacific Northwest [2].

Of the four novels in the Skin Kadash series, Lost Dog is the only one in which Skin is not a point-of-view character. The two point-of-view characters are the protagonist Peter McKrall and antagonist Jake Smithers. Lost Dog is preceded by the short story Heat Death and followed by the book Chasing Smoke, though some events from the third book in the series, Day One, take place prior to the events of Lost Dog.
