DOG IN THE MANGER: AN ELI PAXTON MYSTERY

Book ID/图书代码： 13005513B62656

English Summary/英文概要： A dog is missing. Not just any dog. The number one Weimaraner in the country and current Westminster winner.

Down-on-his-luck private eye Eli Paxton is hired to find him. Not exactly an elite assignment, but better than nothing. Maybe it will help him pay his rent. It turns out to be anything but a routine case. People start dying in mysterious ways, a cargo plane goes missing, and someone is taking shots at him. It makes no sense. Even a top show dog isn’t worth that much.

Now the hunt is on. Paxton needs to find this dog to save his own skin. The trail leads to Arizona, then Mexico, and finally back to his hometown of Cincinnati- Where he finds the startling solution.

With a new introduction by the author and including the bonus short story "Even Butterflies Can Sting."

Chinese Summary/中文概要：

Awards/获奖情况："Eli Paxton’s voice in Dog in the Manger is exactly right. A decent guy—smart but not a genius, courageous but not a fool—a resident of a Cincinnati he seems to love, and with just a hint of eariness and malaise in some of the scenes. Eli agrees to try and track down a lost dog—an expensive show dog that was supposed to be shipped via plane to another city. But no dog arrived there. Or did one? And why do the people involved in the shipping and receiving all end up dead in a matter of days? Over a dog? Not only is the plot damned good (with big surprises in store), through Eli we are taken into the world of show dogs and their trainers, doctors, and groupies (yes, at several points Best in Show did come to mind). I did something I rarely do these days—I read it in a single sitting. I think you’ll do the same." --Ed Gorman, author of the Sam McCain mystery series

"Eli Paxton is a likable addition to the ranks of fictional private eyes. Mike Resnick’s fast-paced, cleverly plotted, wryly amusing adventures are sure to please both mystery readers and fans of his award-winning science fiction." --Bill Pronzini, grandmaster of Mystery Writers of America
