Peter Abrahams (Spencer Quinn) Books in Order

A chance encounter with a homeless man at a freeway exit ramp jolts Bernie when he realizes the man is Rocket Saluka, a star from his high school baseball team. After Rocket vanishes, Chet and Bernie revisit Bernie's past, unearthing buried memories, old betrayals and a present day conspiracy that turns a nostalgic trip deadly.

A frightened young woman approaches Chet and Bernie in traffic, clearly desperate for help, then bolts before giving her name. Chet's nose picks up a secret about her that links to a slick political campaign, a missing body and a ferret whose devotion to Bernie complicates their usual two dog team.

Bernie hands an online heavy case to fellow PI Victor Klovsky, only for Victor to disappear just before Hanukkah. Hired by Victor's worried mother, Chet and Bernie follow a trail to a ruined desert mission, whispers of a lost art treasure and a Christmas Eve chase through a blizzard.

At the Blackberry Hill Inn in Vermont, pampered cat Queenie and not so bright but loyal dog Arthur usually treat each other as enemies. When the twins' cousin is blamed for a nearby murder tied to old smuggling legends, the animals reluctantly join forces to investigate and clear his name.

Queenie is outraged when Sweet Lady Em, the neighbor's prize cow who supplies her daily cream, vanishes and a boy from the next farm is blamed. As Queenie and Arthur sniff around Blackberry Hill and Catastrophe Falls, they uncover secrets, an injured farmer and a plot that goes far beyond a missing cow.

LeAnne Hogan returns from Afghanistan badly wounded, missing an eye and unsure she deserves to be alive.

A rumored bull shark lurking in the swamp sets off a town wide bounty hunt and fishing frenzy. Amid the excitement Snoozy, the best fisherman in St Roch and the clerk at the Gaux store, disappears, pushing Birdie and Bowser to follow a trail that combines shark fever, greed and a very real human threat.

When someone breaks into the Gaux house and another local home, nervous adults say it is random. Birdie and Bowser are not so sure, especially after a mysterious girl arrives asking questions about Birdie's policeman father, who died on the job years ago, and long cold cases start to heat up.

Bowser, a big, food loving mutt newly adopted by eleven year old Birdie Gaux, comes home to discover the family's stuffed prize marlin has been stolen from the bait shop wall.
