A Question of Pedigree

When competition at a British dog show turns deadly, it's up to Inspector Yale to sniff out a killer in this whodunit perfect for Agatha Christie fans.

For professional dog breeders across the United Kingdom, competition is everything. If your prized pooch wins Best in Show, you can fetch a fine price for her pups. Ambrose Graveney has long been a fixture on the qualifying circuit, hoping to make it to the ultimate contest, Crufts. But it becomes painfully clear that Ambrose won't be moving on this season—or ever again, for that matter—when the old man's lifeless body suddenly slumps over on the bench where he sits awaiting his entrant's turn.

Insp. Simon Yale is dispatched to investigate what initially appears to be a natural death. But Yale suspects something more sinister is afoot in this dog-eat-dog world full of desperate hopes and old grudges. At once an intriguing puzzle and a fascinating look inside the world of show dog competitions, Frank Edwards's A Question of Pedigree will delight mystery lovers and dog fans alike.
