Die Like a Dog: The New Mike Shayne Novel
By:
- Synopsis
-
It all started when Anita Rogell's little dog died in convulsions after eating a plate of creamed chicken specially prepared for Henrietta Rogell, Anita's spinster sister-in-law. It was the first time Michael Shayne was ever called in to investigate the death of a dog, but there was one other deciding factor that urged him to accept the case.
This was the peculiar fact that Anita's aged, multi-millionaire husband had died two days previously of a 'heart attack' and was due to be cremated the following noon by orders of his young and sexy widow without the formality of an autopsy. The dog had been secretly buried with unseemly haste, and the remains of the creamed chicken had disappeared before detectives arrived to investigate the dog's death.
The redhead's 35th case is a close-knit absorbing puzzle with a high degree of emotional involvement between a group of intriguing human beings solidly arrayed against Michael Shayne and his unwelcome investigation.
