Laughing Dog by Dick Lochte

Hardboiled private eye Leo Bloodworth and his self-appointed partner, fifteen-year-old Serendipity Dahlquist, are back in a wild and deadly new mystery that’s every bit as brilliant and memorable as SLEEPING DOG, a New York Times Book of the Year, a Nero Wolfe Award winner, and a finalist for the Edgar, Shamus and Anthony Awards.

“Wonderful! Don’t Wait for the Movie!” Plauboy Magazine

“Sensational writing. Mordant wit. An intricate crime puzzle. And a duo of private eyes as wonky and offbeat as the mind of Dick Lochte” – Harlan Ellison

“Few capture California better . . . His story intrigued . . . Enjoyable and breezy.” Kirkus Reviews

“Dancingly macabre, packed with perils, pungent with humor.” The Sunday Times (London)

“An intelligent, playful, knowledgeable writer . . . Lochte has a great gift for the grotesquerie.” Los Angeles Times

LAUGHING DOG is available from Amazon.
