In an effort to escape tail-chasing males--namely her ex-husband Bob and boyfriend Sam--Melanie Travis opts to track down the elusive owner of Dox, an adorable Dachshund whos about to be put on the block at a charity auction. But the more Melanie discovers about the pups background, the messier the case gets. It seems Dox is part of a divorced couples emotional tug-o-war. . . As if tiptoeing through the minefield of a broken marriage isnt nerve-wracking enough, theres also Melanies stalker--or stalkers--to deal with. The obvious pair is a pesky local TV crew who figure Melanies nose for trouble will lead them to the next Big Story. But whats truly frightening is the presence of someone far more sinister. Someone whos gotten into Melanies house at night, and stolen her wallet. Someone whos dognapped Dox. With doggy abduction and her sons safety on her mind, Melanies determination grows. Soon, it looks like her life may be the next thing up for auction. . . Praise For Laurien Berensons Melanie Travis Mysteries!
