Dark Summer by Iris Johansen

At Leadership Mendocino they think all I talk about is the Library
At the Library they think all I talk about is dogs.
Actually I picked up this book because the heroine is a veterinarian
and so is my daughter. But it also is about a shaman, herbal medicine,
healing and in this case they think that it is the dogs that have the power to heal.
Six dogs, hidden away because someone is on a mission to steal them and will stop at next
to nothing to get them. When one of the dogs appears, shot by a would
be assassin and ends up in the hands of Devon Brody, the veterinarian, people die
and Devon's world is torn to pieces.
Of course, since it is written by Iris Johanssen there is romance mixed in
with the danger. A great alternative to a night of watching television.
Interesting theme, lots of technology and basic shamanism.
