The fourth installment in the irresistible mystery series featuring canine narrator Chet and his human companion Bernie.
Humor and intrigue combine as Spencer Quinn’s engaging and unlikely team of crime solvers takes on the case of a boy gone missing from a wilderness camp.
The kid’s mother thinks her ex-husband snatched their son, but Chet’s always reliable nose leads Bernie in a new and dangerous direction.
Meanwhile, matters at home get complicated when a stray puppy that looks suspiciously like Chet shows up.
Affairs of the heart collide with a job that’s never been tougher, requiring our intrepid sleuths to trust each other even when circumstances—and a rival P.I.—conspire to keep them far apart.
