Dr. Lucy
The knock propelled her out of sleep and set the dogs barking. Or maybe the knock propelled the dogs out of sleep and their barking finally broke through the nightcap, the sleeping pill and the exhaustion. Winston the greyhound, the only dog allowed to sleep in her room and on her bed, sat up and stared in the direction of the windows, growling softly. She stood, cursing under her breath as a way of dismissing fear, and crossed to the windows. She opened them out into the night and looked down. Below her on the front porch stood two young men, dressed in matching uniforms of white T-shirts and jeans.
Say Goodbye For Now by Catherine Ryan Hyde
She cursed all the way to the door - this being broad daylight and all, and just one time of many when she preferred not to be bothered. She could barely hear the curses over the baying of the dogs in their outdoor runs.

I like the uniform bit because I feel that will be crucial to this story.
Well obviously something has happened and I'm interested in hearing what the two young men want. :-)
I've only read one other book by this author (The Language of Hoffbeats) but I'd love to read another. The first paragraph sounds good.
I've read a couple of books by this author and enjoyed them. I am curious as to what the men want, and it's probably trouble!
I like this author and am curious for more after reading the intro; enjoy Nise.
I'd like to read this book and need to check out the author.
