Hair Of The Dog: Dan Mahoney Mysteries, Book 3

Hair of the Dog sees Dan Mahoney and fiancée Elaine Linden traveling to Florida for his next investigation, where five insured racing greyhounds supposedly died in a kennel fire. But circumstances are suspicious right from the start. Who is the dead body at the kennel entrance, and how is it possible the knife sticking out of his back is not the cause of death?

Dan spends his time gathering evidence and chasing leads, while Elaine starts her training as a private investigator. Adding to the mix, Dan's mother, Maggie, decides to move to Florida in her retirement years and meets a suave new boyfriend. Another mystery arises when the two seniors take off on a last-minute cruise.

Dan and Elaine find themselves tracking bad guys from several sectors as the clues come together in this complex story set in the high-stakes world of dog racing and millionaire investors.
