Detecting Danger. Valerie Hansen

      

      EXPLOSIVE SECRETS

      When a bomb explodes at the Washington Monument, the Capitol K-9 Unit goes on high alert. Though injured in the blast, K-9 cop Isaac Black is determined to get to the bottom of the situation. He’ll follow every lead, including investigating his ER nurse’s suspicious behavior. He soon learns Daniella Dunne has long been in a witness protection program. And it’s apparent that her identity has been compromised. The killer she once sent to prison—her own father—has been released and vows revenge. As Isaac and his stalwart beagle safeguard Daniella at his family’s farm, a murderer with a personal score to settle lurks in the shadows…

      “You can tell me,” Isaac said.

      Daniella pulled away. “Tell you what?”

      “Why you’re so afraid.”

      He thought she was going to leave the hospital room without replying, but then she said, “I just hate bombs, that’s all. They’re so indiscriminate. So lethal.”

      Isaac nodded. “This one wasn’t much, if that helps any.”

      The heartrending look in her emerald-green eyes penetrated his defenses despite his strong resolve. It had been a long time since he’d seen that much poignancy and sorrow in a person’s gaze.

      This shy, quiet woman had given his heart a twist without saying a word.

      Why is she so afraid?

      Isaac turned his attention to Detective David Delvecchio of the DC Metro squad and smiled. “You look like something’s bugging you. What’s the matter?”

      “I’m just not fond of congressmen who throw their weight around and cause unnecessary overtime.” He eyed the gaggle of news vans and cameramen surrounding Harland Jeffries. “If he wants to grandstand he should do it on his own turf.”

      “And preferably during office hours,” Isaac added. He glanced down at Abby, his brown-and-white bomb-detecting beagle. She
