The Dogfather by Sparkle Abbey
"Sympathetic and delightful heroines." --King's River Life Magazine
Who knew the world of designer purses could be such a dog-eat-dog business?
When a local, designer handbags store owner is found dead, the police first believe it's an unfortunate accident. But the evidence doesn't lie. Before you can say "wiseguy," Bow Wow Boutique owner, Melinda Langston's, former fiancé and undercover FBI agent, Grey Donovan, is the prime suspect.
Now the two are working side-by-side to prove Grey's innocence-- nothing personal, just business. Or is it? Suspects are piling up, family secrets are exposed, and no one is who they appear to be, including Mel's newest employee. Time's running out. Mel better sniff out the killer before she and Grey end up sleeping with the fishes.
Sparkle Abbey is the pseudonym of two mystery authors (Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter). They are friends and neighbors as well as co-writers of the Pampered Pets Mystery Series. The pen name was created by combining the names of their rescue pets--Sparkle (Mary Lee's cat) and Abbey (Anita's dog). They reside in central Iowa, but if they could write anywhere, you would find them on the beach with their laptops and, depending on the time of day, with either an iced tea or a margarita.
