DOG
ON IT
By Spencer Quinn
"We
were in a great mood, me and Bernie, on the job - not some horrible divorce case
but our specialty, missing persons. Bernie was wearing one of his best Hawaiian
shirts, the one with the martini glass pattern. I wore my brown leather collar
with the silver tags; I've also got a black one for dress-up."
Meet
Chet, the captivating canine narrator of this fabulous, funny new detective series.
Wise and lovable, Chet spends his days as an offsider to Bernie, a slightly down-at-heel
PI.
Chet may have flunked out of police school ("I'd
been the best leaper in K-9 class, which had led to all the trouble in a way I
couldn't remember exactly, although blood was involved"), but he's just as
much as a detective as Bernie - superior, sometimes, in his insight into human
foibles.
In 'Dog On It', Chet and Bernie take a welcome break from snooping
on errant husbands to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl who may
or may not have been kidnapped, but is definitely mixed up with some very unsavoury
characters. However all is not lost, as our resourceful duo handles every perilous
situation in their unique way - from sniffing out the bad guys to a dog-knapping.
Packed with suspense and intrigue - with more than a dash
of humour and insight, this first Chet and Bernie adventure will charm not only
crime fans but dog lovers, and everyone who loved 'Marley and Me'!
