Two dead kids. A brilliant detective on the case. Only problem: he's a broken man in a corgi's body.

Two teenagers are found dead at Bellwick's abandoned docks. The police call it an accident. Percival Hoover isn't convinced.

A talking Pembroke Welsh Corgi—impeccably dressed, sharply observant, and the town's most respected private detective. How he can speak remains a mystery. What matters is that he's bloody good at his job.

As he digs deeper, a picture emerges he never wanted to see. Haunted by past failures, Percival must confront his own demons while seeking justice for the dead. Because in a town where reputation matters more than truth, someone is willing to let the innocent take the blame.

A noir mystery combining the wit of classic British detective fiction with a protagonist who will make you laugh, break your heart, and never let you look at a corgi the same way again.

Dry humour and warm friendships in a bleak world. For readers who don't want a cozy.
