Sirius About Murder — Sue Owens Wright

Animal lovers in Lake Tahoe are lobbying for a new shorefront dog park for their canine companions -- a development hotly contested by those pushing for a lucrative luxury housing project instead. Elsie MacBean and her basset hound, Cruiser, are leading the charge for the park when a killer strikes. The first victim is the wealthy matriarch and dog lover who owns the land caught in the controversy. Suspicion points to a pet psychic, Madame Pawline, but Elsie has a few leads of her own….

Threatening e-mail from a cyberstalker is putting advocates of the dog park -- and their beloved pooches -- in the crosshairs. Tragically, Elsie's good friend Rose becomes the next victim in a near-fatal encounter. Hounding the killer herself, Elsie confronts a methodical murderer plotting to bury her bones so deep not even her beloved Cruiser will be able to dig up the truth.
