"...an excellent, vibrant read..." -Mystery Scene Magazine "Certain to become a new favorite for noir aficionados." 5 stars out of 5. -Manhattan Book Review "I bloody loved it! Breathes new life into the PI novel."-Paul D. Brazill, author of Cold London Blues and Guns of Brixton"Vicious Dogs hits all the right notes. By the end, this dog bites!" -Eric Beetner, author of Rumrunners and The Devil Doesn't Want Me"In Vicious Dogs, Henry Brock takes us on a tour of Toronto's seedy underbelly while reinventing the hardboiled noir. The first (of, I hope, many) Derek Lasker Investigations delivers a whip-crack plot and devilish humor that goes down like a tall can of Molson's after a plate of poutine." -Eryk Pruitt, author of Dirtbags and Hashtag.Derek Lasker may consider himself a private investigator, but he hasn't worked in months. He lives in a fleabag motel and spends his days wondering how his life became such a complete disaster. He is shocked when his mobile phone rings with an offer of a case. Within twenty minutes Derek is meeting with Bob Linehan Sr., who found a headless cat in his backyard. He believes his potentially psychotic teenaged son, Bob Jr., killed it. He wants Derek to follow Bob Jr. and make sure he doesn't commit worse crimes. Despite the risk that emerges when Bob Sr. admits that his son has a closet full of knives, Derek takes the job with an eye on the money. The case takes a grisly turn when a cat head with a human tongue in its mouth is found on a stake in front of Bob Jr.'s high school. The story becomes front page news. The Humane Society offers a $10,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person who committed this act, and this gives Derek even more incentive to crack the case. However, Derek is out of practice and has his eye on the wrong psychopath. The mistake will cost him. Vicious Dogs is a fast-paced novel with an nail-biting ending.
