His sister, who long ago fled to a convent to escape their abusive father, is on her deathbed. Meanwhile, Harry Murdoch, the father whom Murdoch long ago shut out of his life, has been charged with murder and calls on his estranged son to prove his innocence. But, knowing his father, what is Murdoch to believe?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>No author has mined Toronto's past . . . with the dedication to detail of mystery writer Maureen Jennings. . . . <i>Let Loose the Dogs</i> follows Murdoch through a dense plot centred on a bloodthirsty gambling event of the era. - <i>Toronto Star<br></i><br>Jennings is too tough and honest a writer to let anyone off her moral hook, even her hero. - <i>New York Times Book Review<br></i><br>Perhaps [the] darkest and most complex novel in this well-received Victorian series. - <i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>The most generously plotted of Murdoch's four cases, but the one whose constant reminders of mortality . . . are the most piercing. - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in England, MAUREEN JENNINGS taught English before becoming a psychotherapist. The first Detective Murdoch mystery was published in 1997. Six more followed, all to enthusiastic reviews. In 2003, Shaftesbury Films adapted three of the novels into movies of the week, and four years later the Murdoch Mysteries TV series was created; it is now shown around the world. In Canada, CBC television is carrying on the series beginning in Fall 2012. Her new trilogy, set in World War II-era England, got off to a spectacular start with 2011's <i>Season of Darkness</i>, followed by <i>Beware this Boy</i> in Fall 2012. Maureen lives in Toronto with her husband and their dogs. Visit www.maureenjennings.com.
