''I absolutely adored this book. Mrs. Plansky is a terrific character.'' - Stephen King on Mrs Plansky''s Revenge The irresistible and unforgettable Mrs. Plansky goes rogue in this whirlwind adventure that will lead her up and down coastal Florida and beyond! Mrs. Plansky is fresh off of winning a thrilling senior tennis championship with her doubles partner, Kev Dinardo, and is gearing up to celebrate with him on his yacht. That is, until the yacht is destroyed in a fire. Kev claims the fire was caused by a lightning strike, pure bad luck, but there''s one small problem―Mrs. Plansky didn''t see any lightning. Already certain there''s more going on than she''s being told, Mrs. Plansky''s curiosity turns to concern when Kev goes missing. Her suspicion gets the better of her and leads her to break into his house, only to find it ransacked. But Kev isn''t the only person Mrs. Plansky has to worry about. A conversation with her dad reveals that not long ago, he''d introduced Kev to Jack, Mrs. Plansky''s wayward tennis pro son. And now, her dad―distracted by arrangements for his upcoming wedding―either can''t remember or has no interest in divulging any details. Worse? Now Jack has gone missing, too.

In the latest installment of this beloved series, canine PI Chet bites off more than he can chew when he and human partner, Bernie, take on a cryptic case in the Arizona desert. The desert hides many secrets. The Little Detective Agency, consisting of Chet the dog and his human partner, Bernie Little, are good at digging up secrets—Chet especially—but now they face their most baffling case yet. Nothing in their career has prepared them for competing paleontologists, the viciousness of academic infighting, or the slow-motion wiliness of a giant desert tortoise long thought to be extinct. Chet and Bernie are about to be hired by Maya Lakey, a legendary paleontologist nearing the end of her career. But she never gets to tell them why. That''s not something Chet and Bernie can live with so they start looking into Maya''s life. Questions arise right away. Were two falls, many years apart and both ruled accidental, connected? Who paid for a clifftop safety fence and why? What does a non-speaking, dog-loving survivor know, and can Chet somehow learn what''s in his memory? No one is making it easy for the duo. There''s a rogue sheriff who knows more than she lets on, a retired cop with a collection of gleaming Porsches, and evidence of someone high up pulling the strings. In the middle of all this Bernie and his girlfriend Weatherly are trying to plan their wedding, and everyone is angling for an invite, including Dippy, a perp who specializes in stealing wedding cakes and holding them for ransom, and Robespierre, an ancient desert hippie who may have all the answers.

Queenie is a cat, deeply aware of her own perfection, and Arthur is a dog who normally likes everyone (except Queenie who is devoted to making his life a misery), and they both live at the Blackberry Hill Inn in the Northeast in snow country with their human twins (Harmony and Bro), and Mom; but one winter''s day an unpleasant and suspicious stranger comes to stay at the inn, and soon the twin''s uncle is framed for murder--and Queenie and Arthur must put aside their differences and work together to solve the mystery and protect their humans.

From New York Times bestseller Spencer Quinn comes book 2 in the laugh-out-loud series about the most epic rivalry of our time . . . Arthur the dog vs. Queenie the cat. Queenie the cat has a BIG problem. And for once, it''s not the slobbery, overly excited creature who also lives at Blackberry Hill Inn. Sweet Lady Emsworth, the neighbor''s prize cow, has disappeared, meaning no morning cream for Queenie. And when Queenie''s not happy, NO ONE is happy . . . Things aren''t looking great for Arthur the dog, either. His beloved humans, twins Harmony and Bro, are distressed about the strange activity in their town. Mysterious hi-tech people are suddenly very interested in nearby Catastrophe Falls, bills are piling up at their mom''s inn . . . and now the twins might be hiding a fugitive? Arthur is desperate to help but for some reason, no one seems to think he''s up to the task. (Could that be because he can''t remember what happened more than 10 seconds ago? Surely not ) Can Arthur save the day -- and become a hero in Queenie''s eyes -- without making a disastrous splash?
