When Sasha's policeman dad takes up a remote country posting, she falls and hits her head on the very first day. So when their new pet, retired police dog King, starts communicating with her, she puts it down to her concussion. But more strange things start to happen. Who is the greasy-haired man she keeps seeing? Why is the local art dealer so nasty? And who killed Mrs Alsopp and set her house on fire? When Sasha 'sees' the burning house in a dream, it's not enough to save the elderly woman. But the beaten man she sees in the old police cell is already dead - isn't he? Together, Sasha and King must solve the mysteries of Manna Creek, and save the one person she thought she could rely on.
