"Spencer Quinn speaks two languages — suspense and dog — fluently." — Stephen King

Why would anyone break into 19 Gentilly Lane? That's where the Gaux family lives, and everyone knows they have nothing worth stealing. More important, the house is usually guarded by Birdie Gaux's dog, Bowser, a large and handsome fellow with a big set of sharp teeth.Now Birdie is looking worried and Bowser is on the trail of something rotten. Who was behind the break in? Why is a girl with green hair asking odd questions about what happened to Birdie's dad, a policeman who was killed in the line of duty years ago? Worst of all, why is the whole town starting to stink of limeade aftershave and CAT?!? The death of Birdie's father may be a cold case, but Bowser can tell it's heating up fast. Someone is coming after Birdie and her family, and Bowser must be ready to protect them from anything. Even that awful cat.

      When a story is told by a goofy, bacon-obsessed canine, then narrator James Frangione is the best voice for the job. Bowser is in charge of security at 19 Gentilly Lane, home of his human, 11-year-old Birdie Gaux. In their second detective outing, Birdie and Bowser connect the dots between recent break-ins, two mysterious newcomers, and the murder of Birdie's father, a policeman. Though generally light in tone, Frangione adds a sinister undertone when the duo discover a body in the swamp. Bowser's delightful canine insights will surely garner this series new fans.
