Ninth in the brilliantly addictive series of murder mysteries by an acclaimed and popular writer. The wife of anchorman Dermot O'Flannery dies during a bungled burglary and the killer is never caught.

Six months later Poppy and Graham are faced with a long, hot summer dog-walking for Poppy's next-door neighbour.

This strange, parallel universe of Planet Dog seems a million miles away from the dreadful events that tore the news-reporter apart, but after a malicious prank is played on their fellow dog-walkers, Poppy and Graham find themselves crossing paths with Dermot O'Flannery.

With lethal consequences...
