Laughing Dog

A Los Angeles Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin return.“First, imagine Katherine Hepburn at fourteen. Next, in your mind’s eye, replay Humphrey Bogart, at his middle-aged best, as Sam Spade. Now picture this oddest of couples as the newest duo in detective fiction and you’ll have a perfect portrait of the memorable leads in Sleeping Dog.”—Los Angeles Times Book ReviewSleeping Dog (1-890208-51-5 $14.95) was nominated for every major mystery award. Now Leo Bloodworth (a middle aged grouchy P.I.) and Serendipity Dahlquist (the roller-skating, precocious, wise-acre teen) hit the streets again. This time they’re looking for a runaway teenager and a pair of sapphire earrings—which cases may, or may not be connected.“…hilarious and yet sympathetic…works beautifully and memorably.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
