Black dog redemption

the long version

When the black dog is found at a murder scene, fear, loyalty, love and the ghosts of war begin to converge. Lives will be challenged and changed ... but for the good or bad? Is the black dog the ancient symbol of death and the devil, or a sign of a better future and redemption for three troubled souls? When Edwin and Lee Christian opened the St. George Inn on the square of an historic and idyllic mountain town they had no idea of how brutal the future might be. When Noah Harris returned from Iraq and ran for sheriff to protect the mountain folks that he loved, he had no clue of how difficult that might become. For over thirty years Cliff Barr had been hiding on the mountain trying to forget the tragedies of Vietnam. The world was about to find him. The almost forgotten legend of the Cherokees' Black Dogs comes to life in a very real way. "Back Cover."
