Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.8Mb
Overview: Ever since a blood-curdling wail pierced the murky darkness of the moors surrounding Baskerville Hall alerting Holmes and Watson to dastardly deeds, hounds galore have come to play their full part in mystery and detection. As is apparent from these gripping stories in this delightful anthology, dogs are not just the faithful friends their masters take them to be. When confronted by evil intentions of man and master, their intuitive sense of ethical standards will tell them their faith lies in an altogether different direction.
Hound Dunnit is the first book to do justice to “canine” cunning and intelligence in the criminal underworld. It comes with a humorous and pertinent introduction by eminent story-teller Isaac Asimov who lends his name and authority to promote the rights of this important mystery minority group. And from the pen of such illustrious writers as Ross Macdonald, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rex Stout, Joyce Harrington and many others, the reader will encounter the singular adventures of dogs and the reputations they give rise to: dogs as detectives, as spycatchers, dogs trained to lure the enemy into a trap, dogs that sacrifice themselves so that others may live…dogs, in fact, finding themselves in a whole host of intriguing and mysterious circumstances.
As a topnotch collection of mystery and suspense stories by the most talented writers of the genre, Hound Dunnit proves once and for all that dogs and mysteries we a natural affinity.
