There is some information about cloning in this book. Basically, Rachel is hired to locate a company called Side by Side, which had cloned three dogs from the same mother, Blanche, who is a seizure alert dog. The owner of Blanche has one of the offspring, Bianca, and does not think that the seizure alert trait has transferred to the puppies. Rachel begins to investigate, but someone clearly does not want her to do that. ( ) I love this series and this is the best so far. The plot is far-fetched--cloning--but it was a hot topic in 2000 when this was written. The characters seem to have more depth in this book but maybe it's just because I'm getting to know them better after reading 4 other in the series. Not great literature but still a good read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

From former detective turned noted author and dog trainer, Carol Lea Benjamin, comes the fifth book in the critically-lauded Rachel Alexander mystery series, for the first time in mass market. Sophie Gordon didn't let her epilepsy get in the way of her life as a teacher of deaf children. But without her trusty canine companion, an indispensable service dog named Blanche, she wouldn't be nearly as well-off. A service dog that can perform the difficult tasks that epilepsy requires--sensing when a seizure is about to occur and fetching life-saving medication--is extremely rare, so when a veterinarian's office promises that they can clone Blanche, Sophie jumps at the opportunity. Her former worries can now be put to rest, knowing that now she'll have a replacement for Blanche when the time comes. But the puppy they provided didn't have what it takes to be a service dog, and when Sophie visits the vet to alert them of the problem, none of the staff is anywhere to be found--they've disappeared without a trace. To get to the bottom of this clone-by-night operation, Sophie hires P.I. Rachel Alexander and Dash, her pit bull partner. And two days after meeting with Rachel, Sophie is found dead, apparently of a seizure, but it didn't take Dash's sensitive nose to tell that something doesn't smell right, and that the missing vets definitely need further examination.
