Crime

A funny new detective novel featuring Bernie, a slightly down-at-heel PI; and his offsider, Chet, a dog, who is the captivating narrator of the story. Chet may have flunked out of police school, but he's just as much a detective as Bernie - superior, sometimes, in his insight into human foibles. In Dog on It, their first adventure, Chet and Bernie investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl who may or may not have been kidnapped, but who's definitely gotten herself mixed up with some very unsavoury characters.
