About This Book

This is the story of a girl and her dog...and the tough, middle-aged private eye she hires to find her pitbull Groucho. It's a tale of sunny, smoogy Southern California, where 60s flower power still fourishes amid the Mexican Mafia of the 80s...and a simple case of petnapping quickly escalates into a chain of gruesome homicides. Most of all, it's an adventure starring precocious 14-year-old media child Serendipity Dahlquist and hard-boiled, bourbon-seasoned Leo Bloodworth...the oddest, wildest, and most winning couple in today's detective fiction.
