<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first book of the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Chet and Bernie mystery series, an "enchanting one-of-a-kind novel" (Stephen King) that is "nothing short of masterful" (<i>Los Angeles Times</i>).</b> <p/>Chet, the wise and lovable canine narrator of <i>Dog on It</i>, and Bernie, a down-on-his-luck private investigator, are quick to take a new case involving a frantic mother searching for her teenage daughter. This well-behaved and gifted student may or may not have been kidnapped, but she has definitely gotten mixed up with some very unsavory characters. With Chet's highly trained nose leading the way, their hunt for clues takes them into the desert to biker bars and other exotic locales--until the bad guys try to turn the tables and the resourceful duo lands in the paws of peril. Spencer Quinn's irresistible mystery kicks off a delightful new series that will have readers panting for more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[<i>Dog On It</i>] features the most winning narrator I've come across in a long time...[and] manages to ratchet up some real suspense. -- <i>Christian Science Monitor</i><br><br>[<i>Dog On It</i>] will delight dog-loving mystery readers, but the book is also an excellent PI tale, dogs aside....A great sleuth and always upbeat, Chet may well be one of the most appealing new detectives on the block, but Bernie us a close runner-up.
