Darkly funny, psychologically twisted, and impossible to predict, Dead Dog Detective is a page-turning, noir mystery novel.

A dead dog shouldn't ruin a man's life. But Officer Harry Hundlieber's life is already coming apart.

His wife has left him. His career has stalled. His rivals are circling. Then a teenage girl asks him to investigate the death of her beloved retriever—a case everyone else has dismissed.

Soon Harry is chasing cryptic messages, anonymous couriers, hidden cash drops, and unsettling clues across the quiet suburbs of West Yough. Every lead pulls him deeper into a mystery that feels less like a crime and more like a sadistic game designed specifically for him.

Meanwhile, Harry's nights are haunted by violent, symbolic dreams that seem impossible to explain—yet increasingly difficult to ignore.

Because the dead dog was only the beginning.
