<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The decidedly eccentric staff of "Tripping Magazine," a low-budget periodical of the paranormal, goes to Manitou Springs, Colorado, to investigate a ghostly Chihuahua spotted by the rich founder of a clothing catalog for small dogs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>When the glowing form of a beloved deceased Chihuahua appears, is it a ghost, or is </i><i>someone teaching a dead dog new tricks - like murder?</i> <p/><br><i>Tripping Magazine </i>is a quirky low-budget magazine that reports on travel destinations for believers in the paranormal. A few fake ghosts away from throwing in the towel, the <i>Tripping </i>staff get the tip of a lifetime when they get a call from Charlotte Baskerville, the rich founder of a clothing company for small dogs. Charlotte thinks that her Chihuahua, Petey, has come back from the dead, and she's desperate for someone to come verify his appearances. <p/>The magazine's three-person reporting team travels to Manitou Springs, Colorado, sure that the ghostly dog will be a work of fiction. But, when they arrive, they see evidence of Petey with their own eyes. And he's not just floating by - he's howling advice and spelling out threats with tiny paw prints. Is the ghost real, or is the whole phenomenon an elaborate ruse? <p/>The <i>Tripping </i>team must navigate the kooky world of coffin races, scheming husbands, and doggie fashion to solve the mystery - and get their story written at the same time. Uproariously funny and a great mystery to boot, <i>Chihuahua of the Baskervilles </i>is sure to leave you in stitches.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><P>"A treat for dog lovers, aficionados of the bizarre, and fans of unusual mysteries, all of whom just might sit up and beg Allbritten for her next entry." --"Richmond Times-Dispatch"<P>"Tripping Magazine "is a quirky low-budget magazine that reports on travel destinations for believers in the paranormal.
