Butler

For years, Windy Bay had been home to fishing and boating enthusiasts. Now it harbored a thief. Locals and tourists had been victimized, but none could identify the stealthy perpetrator. When police are stumped, Detective Sam McAllister is summoned.

After two months, McAllister’s sterling reputation begins to tarnish. Despite his best efforts, he has found just one common link. All the victims recall the presence of a black dog. The town explodes in laughter, when McAllister points his finger at the canine. Sam renews his efforts, determined to find the person behind the dog.

Was it the sultry Melanie Evans? Why would a self-professed dog hater have a stash of Chewy Bonz and Bacon Tidbits?

Could it be Ed Jenkins, proprietor of the suddenly-successful hardware store?

Follow Sam’s hilarious search, as he chases a bevy of unlikely suspects.

And finds himself falling for a dog named Butler.

Book Blurb Friday is hosted by Lisa Ricard Claro, who posts a weekly photo and challenges us to “write a book jacket blurb (150 words or less) so enticing that potential readers would feel compelled to buy the book.” That’s quite a challenge, but it’s a lot of fun as well. Click on the image at the left to read more blurbs or enter one of your own.
This week’s blurb has 150 words.
