Something offensive is afoot in Emily Kincaid's northern
Michigan town—besides her increasingly cranky friend Deputy
Dolly. After a brutally slain woman turns up in an abandoned
house, they learn that bodies of dead dogs are being thrown
into migrant workers' yards—a gruesome warning to keep a
despicable secret. Clues to unravel this macabre affair seem
woven into the manuscript Emily is editing for an eccentric
English author. But reading further into his twisted fiction
could spell her death. *** "Buzzelli will have you packing
your bags for a move to northern Michigan in the hope that
you'll find a friend as appealing as Emily and a dog as
lovable as Sorrow."—KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW)
