Started Early, Took My Dog A Novel

Tracy Waterhouse, a retired police detective now working as a security chief in a Leeds shopping center, makes a shocking, impulsive decision to rescue a small child from an abusive, drug-addicted offender named Kelly Cross, an action that plunges her into danger and moral ambiguity. Meanwhile, private investigator Jackson Brodie, down on his luck and traveling with a recently rescued, abused dog, has returned to his Yorkshire hometown on a case to trace the biological parents of an adoptee named Hope McMasters. The novel weaves together the stories of Tracy, Jackson, and an aging actress named Tilly Squires, who is also at the Merrion Centre, as all three learn that the past is never history and no good deed goes unpunished. Jackson's investigation soon connects to a murder Tracy was involved in during the 1970s, revealing how events from the past have a profound impact on the present.
