Beka Cooper: Bloodhound, by Tamora Pierce (Random House, 2009)

She survived her training, but as an official Provost’s Guard – a Dog – Beka Cooper is in for the greatest challenge yet. Someone is flooding the economy with counterfeit coins, an act which might very well destroy the nation of Tortall. Now Beka and her senior partner Goodwin have been sent to root out the problem at its source, in the corruption-riddled Port Caynn. But once Beka’s on a case, she won’t stop, whether the trail takes her into the Court of the Rogue, the homes of the local nobles, or up against the Port Caynn Dogs themselves. To survive this experience, she’ll need all the help she can get from allies, both old and new, and from her own magical gifts. Once again, we’re treated to a thrilling mixture of fantasy, mystery, and police procedural, as told through the voice of a fierce, unyielding, strong female lead. Bring on the next Beka Cooper adventure, and soon!
