As they slowly recover from the devastating death of Ben’s wife and daughter, Ben begins to consider the possibility of finding love again. In Operation Counterstrike Senior Constable Cassandra Morrow and police dog Samson, a feisty two-year-old Rottweiler, are sent to Clarkdale to complete their six-month operational training phase. It’s a steep learning curve for Cassie and Samson as they work to develop their operational skills under Ben’s supervision. Meanwhile, a dangerous criminal gang have moved into the area to expand their national counterfeiting operation. The gang’s clever scheme has been reaping huge financial rewards right under the nose of various government agencies. That is until Ben’s police dog, Sabre, creates the first cracks in their ingenious plan thanks to his incredible sense of smell. The Victoria Police and Australian Federal Police departments launch an operation code named Counterstrike. Their goal is to identify, locate and arrest the counterfeiters and in particular the gang leader, Cliff Samuels, known to be a cold-blooded killer. Ben and Cassie and their canine partners become central characters in the search for the offenders as the police struggle to identify the “inside men” who are assisting the gang. Book 2 in the Dog Cops series provides an intriguing insight into the capabilities of the police dogs, the techniques used to crack criminal gangs and how the power of money has the ability to turn anyone to a life of crime. About the Author Sergeant Brian Barnard served with the Victoria Police Force in Australia for 24 years, 18 of which he spent as a member of the elite Victoria Police Dog Squad. Twenty years after leaving the force and after a successful foray into the corporate world, Brian finally sat down to write the first of a series of novels about “the greatest job in the world”, being a police dog handler as told through the eyes of his composite character, Sergeant Ben Gibson. The Dog Cops Book 1 was published in October 2020 and received widespread acclaim, particularly from serving and retired police members for its authenticity and insight into the day-to-day life of being a police officer and a police dog handler. Book 2 in the series expands on the rich blend of characters featured in Book 1 along with more spine-tingling police dog action sequences, many based on authentic operational experiences.   Currently there are no reviews for this product.
