Publisher Description
When a valuable circus elephant and his trainer go missing, Chet and Bernie are hired to find out what's going on.'Have Peanuts and his trainer, Uri, been lured away by animal rights activists? Or have they been kidnapped by someone with a grudge? It's not long before Chet and Bernie discover that their disappearance is much more sinister than an animal rights stunt, and may in fact involve vicious smugglers and the huge illegal international trade in exotic animals.'To Fetch a Thief shows why readers have fallen head-over-paws in love with the Dog On It series. Top-notch suspense, humour, and insight into the ways our canine companions think and behave make this the most entertaining book in the series yet.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Peanut, the elephant star of the Drummond Family Traveling Circus, goes missing, along with elephant tamer Uri DeLeath, Uri's tearful clown partner, Popo, seeks the help of canine detective Chet the Jet and Chet's human partner in cracking crimes, Bernie Little of the Little Detective Agency, in Quinn's terrific third Chet and Bernie mystery set in "the Valley" of an unnamed Western state (after January 2010's Thereby Hangs a Tail). Sgt. Rick Torres of Missing Persons adds his considerable expertise, but it's Chet's fearless nose for clues that leads them on a strange odyssey that becomes downright hairy after Uri's found dead in the desert from the bite of an illegal African puff adder. Quinn, the pseudonym of suspense author Peter Abrahams (End of Story), radiates pure comedic genius via Chet's doggy bright narrative. You don't have to be a dog lover to enjoy this deliciously addictive series.
