But when Ralph Bravo, the magnate and mastermind behind the Doggie Crunchies Empire, is found all four paws up--dead--only one cat in town has the wits to connect the dots and discover the killer. Think of it as Philip Marlowe meets Fritz the Cat.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Set in the twin towns of CatsCamp and Dogstown that straddle the Beaver Butt River just as it meets the ocean, this tongue-in-cheek murder mystery takes you in and out of the surf zone and local taverns before culminating in a high-speed chase down the rugged Left Coast. In the meantime, Duke gets his share of scrapes--as any tomcat does--with his best friend Trapper, a big black lab born to surf; the gorgeous Gloria, dead Ralph's young widow; Police Captain Ursalik, a big old grizzly counting his days till retirement; and the criminal de Katz brothers, a couple of ferocious felines who may just be mixed up in murder. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chip Weinert is a former magazine and newspaper writer, editor, and associate publisher.
