Description
At Buckingham Pet Palace doggy daycare, the (canine) customer is always king-but when a killer strikes, owner Sue Patrick is the queen of crime-solving . . .
An early morning beach jog takes a somber turn when Sue Patrick and Lewes, Delaware's Chief of Police, John Turner, encounter a gentleman dressed in a tux-and indisputably dead. While John runs to alert police, Sue witnesses an interloper rummaging through the victim's pockets, right before he's shot by a second stranger who attacks Sue. Two trusty doggy friends come to her aid, but the shooter escapes.
The well-dressed corpse was Danish conductor Georg Nielsen, darling of the classical music world. Lewes is hosting the world debut of Georg's new sonata, and the show must go on . . . but there's major discord amongst the musicians. Lady Anthea, Sue's aristocratic business partner, joins her in trying to bring the curtain down on a killer. But they'll need four-legged help to stop a maestro murderer who seems to have orchestrated the perfect crime . . .
