Описание: In the seventh book in the brilliant "New York Times" bestselling mystery series, canine narrator Chet and P.I. Bernie Little journey to Washington, DC, and the dog-eat-dog world of our nation s capital.
Stephen King has called Chet a canine Sam Spade full of joie de vivre. Robert B. Parker dubbed Spencer Quinn s writing major league prose. Now the beloved team returns in another suspenseful novel that finds Chet sniffing around the capital city and using his street smarts to uncover a devilish plot.
Chet and Bernie pay a visit to Bernie s girlfriend, Suzie Sanchez, an ace reporter living in far-off Washington, DC. She s working on a big story she can t talk about, but when her source, a mysterious Brit with possible intelligence connections, runs into trouble of the worst kind, Bernie suddenly finds himself under arrest.
Meanwhile Chet gets to know a powerful DC operative who may or may not have the goods on an ambitious politician. Soon Chet and Bernie are sucked into an international conspiracy, battling unfamiliar forces under the blinking red eyes of a strange bird that Chet notices from the get-go but seems to have slipped by everybody else. Most menacing of all is Barnum, a guinea pig with the fate of the nation in his tiny paws.
As Harry Truman famously quipped, If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Too bad he didn t get to meet Chet "

Описание: In the sixth entry in the "New York Times "bestselling mystery series that the "Los Angeles Times "called nothing short of masterful, Chet and Bernie are handed a hard case in the Big Easy.
Chet and Bernie, the best canine/human P.I. team in the business, encounter a prison work crew that includes Frenchie Boutette, an old pal they sent up the river. Frenchie begs Bernie to go find his brother Ralph, a reclusive inventor who has disappeared along with his houseboat from the bayou. Not long after, Bernie fends off a deadly attack from a member of a shadowy gang called the Q s. The attacker dies without revealing anything.
In bayou country, Chet and Bernie meet the no-good Boutette family and their ancient enemies, the maybe-even-worse Robideaus. At first it looks like Ralph s disappearance is tied to a dispute between the two families over a load of stolen shrimp. But Chet turns up a buried clue that sends them in a new and dangerous direction involving the oil business. The more they find out about Ralph and what he knew, the less their chances of surviving to do anything about it. Now they re up against Big Oil, shadowy black ops figures, and the Q s plus Iko, a legendary bayou gator with a big appetite
A top-notch addition to the deliciously addictive ("Publishers Weekly") series, "The Sound and the Furry "is an irresistibly suspenseful and humorous read that will keep you begging for more."

Описание: The fifth installment in the New York Times bestselling mystery series that the Los Angeles Times says is "nothing short of masterful."

Everyone's favorite detective team returns in a new adventure as canine narrator Chet and his human partner P.I. Bernie Little find that Hollywood has gone to the dogs.

While Tinseltown bad boy Thad Perry is in town shooting a big-budget Western, Bernie and Chet have to keep him out of trouble. But soon they discover Thad has a mysterious connection to the Valley, and the only people who know his secrets keep turning up dead before they can talk.

As Bernie's love life goes long-distance and Chet's late-night assignations give rise to an unexpected dividend, it's all our two sleuths can do to keep the actor in their sights. Worst of all, Thad is a self-proclaimed cat person, and his feline friend Brando has taken an instant dislike to Chet.

Like the winning books before it, this fifth book in the series combines a topnotch mystery with genuine humor and a perceptive take on the relationship between human and dog that will stay with you long after the case is solved.
