Baking. It can get a guy killed. On the trail of a master criminal, a retired detective and his former police dog expect a quiet time in the Cumbrian village of Keswick. However, when Rex picks up a scent upon arriving at their B&B ... ... the discovery of a body in a shallow grave draws them into a mystery someone does not want solved. With help from a local amateur sleuth and her dog, our mystery-busting duo set out to investigate two cases at the same time. Along the way they'll identify a host of possible suspects and have to answer some big questions: Who stood to gain from the victim's death? Was it revenge or greed that motivated the killer? Just how many sausages can a German Shepherd eat in one sitting? As they battle to reveal the truth, it's clear someone is working to cover it up and if they don't figure this out in time, someone might not live to see another day. In their most deadly adventure yet, can Rex and Albert sniff out the clues? The answer will be shocking! 'There is one thing I have learned, and it is this: never underestimate Steve's ability to weave a mystery tale that makes you feel nervous for the heroes one minute, then has you crying with laughter the next.' 'I am yet to read any of his books in more than one sitting. I just cannot put them down!'
When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a captain in the British Army. He would like to pretend that he had one of those careers that must be blacked out and generally denied by the government, and that he has to change his name and move constantly because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth, though, he started out as a mechanic - not like Jason Statham in the film by that name, sneaking around as a hitman, but more like one of those sleazy guys who charges a fortune and keeps your car for a week even though the only thing you went in for was a squeaky door hinge. At school, he was largely disinterested in all subjects except creative writing, for which he won his first prize at the age of ten. However, calling it the first prize he won suggests that there were other prizes, which is not the case. Awards may yet come, but in the meantime, he enjoys writing mystery and thriller novels and claims to have more than a hundred books forming a restless queue in his mind because they are desperate to be written. Now retired from the military, he lives in southeast England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he'll ever leave, the beer is just too good.
