Visiting reporter Suzie Sanchez's home in Washington, D.C., canine investigator Chet lands in the path of a powerful operative with links to an international conspiracy involving a doomed British intelligence agent, a strange red-eyed bird and a fateful guinea pig. By the author ofDog on It . - Simon and Schuster
In the seventh book in the brilliant New York Times bestselling mystery series, canine narrator Chet and P.I. Bernie journey to Washington, DC, and the dog-eat-dog world of our nationâs capital.
Stephen King has called Chet âa canine Sam Spade full of joie de vivre.â Robert B. Parker dubbed Spencer Quinnâs writing âmajor league prose.â 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 Bernieâs girlfriend, Suzie Sanchez, a crack reporter living in far-off Washington, DC. Sheâs working on a big story she canât 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, âIf you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.â Too bad he didnât get to meet Chet!
