At Buckingham Pet Palace doggy daycare, the (canine) customer is always kingβbut when a killer strikes, owner Sue Patrick is the queen of crime-solving . . .
An early morning beach jog takes a somber turn when Sue Patrick and Lewes, Delawareβs Chief of Police, John Turner, encounter a gentleman dressed in a tuxβand indisputably dead. While John runs to alert police, Sue witnesses an interloper rummaging through the victimβs pockets, right before heβs shot by a second stranger who attacks Sue. Two trusty doggy friends come to her aid, but the shooter escapes.
The well-dressed corpse was Danish conductor Georg Nielsen, darling of the classical music world. Lewes is hosting the world debut of Georgβs new sonata, and the show must go on . . . but thereβs major discord amongst the musicians. Lady Anthea, Sueβs aristocratic business partner, joins her in trying to bring the curtain down on a killer. But theyβll need four-legged help to stop a maestro murderer who seems to have orchestrated the perfect crime . . .
