A brand-new adventure in the
New York Times and
USA Today bestselling series that Stephen King calls “without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available.”
The next adventure for Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in crime fiction” (Boston Globe), and his human partner, PI Bernie Little.
Chet and Bernie are contacted by a terribly scared young woman who seems to want their help. Before she can even tell them her name, she flees in panic. But in that brief meeting Chet sniffs out an important secret about her, a secret at the heart of the mystery he and Bernie set out to solve.
It's a case with no client and no crime and yet great danger, with the duo facing a powerful politician who has a lot to lose. Their only hope lies with a ferret named Griffie who adores Bernie. Is there room for a ferret in the Chet and Bernie relationship? That's the challenge Chet faces, the biggest of his career. Hanging in the balance are the lives of two mistreated young women and the future of the whole state.
