**A Canine Noir revenge story!** When a late-night foot pursuit through dark back alleys goes terribly wrong in the jaws of an ex-military Rottweiler, Fritz, Grand City PD's top German Shepherd is driven into retirement to a place far worse than the crime-infested streets he patrolled: the suburbs! Surrounded by suburbanite hounds and derelict mutts of all shapes and breeds, Fritz narrates his quest for revenge and redemption that takes him into the fringes of the seedy canine underworld of cat-races, underground clubs, back alleys, and dog parks. ** ### Review "...the book offers a fun, imaginative look into the secret world of dogs. Fritz and his pals take us on a four-legged tour ranging from their cozy, confining backyard to secret dog speakeasies and high-rolling cat races... the dogs run the show, and they're a delight. I only hope the promised sequel becomes a reality." - James Seidler (Amazon review) "Who knew there was such a genre? I could hear Harlem Nocturne playing in the background while I read it... Fritz reminded me of NYPD Blues' Andy Sipoweiz after he mellowed out towards the series' end... Can't wait for book 2, 3, 4, 5... If you decide to join me in savoring this new and, at times, hilarious fictional world, don't forget to put some Coletrane or Charlie Parker on to set the mood when you crash on the couch with a glass of your favorite brew and your tablet, kindle, or iPad to plunge in to Dog Duty." - Kindle Customer (Amazon review) ### About the Author Bobby D.
