A mystery worth reading.” —Publishers Weekly

training, and appealing human and canine

hard-boiled New York novels (Lawrence Block, for example) as well
as to fans of other canine series.” —Booklist
“Carol Lea Benjamin is as good at writing mysteries as she is at
writing about dogs.” —Laurien Berenson, author of Underdog
