About this audiobook
Detective Steve Benson was hunting a drug kingpin when an undercover operation ended in murder—and left him wondering whether someone inside the department betrayed his closest friend.
Then he is handed a case that seems almost insulting.
A stolen dog.
But one missing animal leads to another, drawing Steve into a hidden network of shelters, warehouses, private compounds, and suspicious shipments.
What begins as a routine theft investigation becomes something far darker.
The cages are moving more than animals.
Hidden money, narcotics, blackmail, and betrayal lead Steve back to the criminal organization he thought he had already lost everything trying to destroy.
What Was in the Cages is a clean crime thriller and police procedural filled with suspense, mystery, and unexpected turns—without profanity, sexual content, or graphic violence.
