The Dog Who Knew Too Much

Rachel Alexander, a Greenwich Village–based dog trainer turned PI, and her loyal pit bull, Dash, roam the streets of New York to solve crimes committed by perps of the two-legged variety.
 
Whether she’s going undercover at a dog-eat-dog training symposium or posing as a lady of the night to catch a working girl’s killer, Rachel’s on the job, aided and abetted by Dash—and in one bizarre case, by a dachshund named Clint. Her relentless search for the truth takes Rachel from the seedy lower-Manhattan waterfront to the SoHo art scene, from stakeouts in homeless shelters to a gangland-style execution in the Meatpacking District. With cash plus expenses, she and her intuitive canine assistant follow up on slim leads as they investigate everything from a suspicious suicide to a hit-and-run to cold-blooded murder while rubbing paws at the most famous dog show in America. Along the way, Rachel and Dash meet Zen Buddhists, animal psychics, and Rachel’s ex-boyfriend. But the mysteries of human behavior aren’t so easily solved . . . even for a sharp PI with man’s—and woman’s—best friend by her side.
