In the many years that Hope McNeill has worked at the
museum, this is the first time she's been able to bring
along her pug, Max. (Officially at least. Previously she's
had to smuggle him in inside her tote bag.) The occasion: a
special "Pug Night" party in honor of a deep-pocketed donor.
Max and his friends are having a ball stalking the hors
d'oeuvres and getting rambunctious, and making Hope wonder
if this is also the last time she gets to bring Max to the
museum.

But when a prized painting goes missing, the Met needs
Hope's--and Max's--help. In her quest for the culprit, Hope
searches for answers with an enigmatic detective, a
larger-than-life society heiress, a lady with a shih tzu in
a stroller, and her arguably intuitive canine. With luck,
she'll find some inspiration on her trips to Pug Hill before
the investigation starts going downhill...
