If you liked The Secret Life of Pets, you’ll love Private Eyes!
It’s Saturday morning in the Windy City, and Moose is running out of time. In less than 48 hours, his best friend has a date with the needle, the kind of date you don’t walk away from with a kiss. Moose has to find out who framed his pit bull buddy for the savage slaying of a French poodle — and then convince the humans that he’s nailed the right guy.
But with no leads and little evidence to go on, there’s only one person in Chicago that has a prayer of hunting down the real killer in time: Antonio Gattogrosso, legendary proprietor of Felinvestigators, the Feline Detective Agency.
AKA Fat Tony.

The Russians are coming! Can 10-pound Moose put a stop to their nefarious plan—before they put a stop to him?
Russian Wolfhounds have invaded Chicago, intent on disrupting the looming presidential election. All part of their diabolical plan for world domination. The four-legged world, that is.
Aussie Terrier Moose McGillicutty goes undercover to ferret out the Russian plot — but he has just 48 hours left to save PETSEC. And, more importantly, save the world.
The dark, crime-ridden underbelly of Chicago comes alive in this classic tale of sacrifice, love, redemption—and the even darker side of pet politics. And no humans were actually harmed in the writing of this book.

Barkingham Palace’s canine security detail is in a panic.
Chief of Station Ginger, the Corgi who famously saved the Queen from a Russian kidnapping attempt during the London Olympics, has mysteriously disappeared. And it appears that infamous Russian agent Vladimir Kitn is once again up to his old tricks.
Armed with a license to kill and very little else, 10-pound terrier Moose has gone deep undercover, and now has less than 48 hours to locate the Russian agents and find a way to stop them.
Before they trigger their diabolical plan to blow up the ocean liner Queen Mary 2, sending dozens of innocent dogs and cats to a cold, watery grave. Oh, and taking a few thousand humans along with them.
To almost all of the humans in the Palace, Her Majesty’s Corgis are nothing but annoying pets, royal burdens that poop and pee on centuries-old carpets and bark incessantly at butterflies and stray breezes. But to the select few, those same bob-tailed Pembrokes are known as the heart and soul of the palace’s secret service detail, a highly trained police force charged with protecting the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family from harm.
At the cost of their very lives, if necessary.
And now the Corgis have enlisted the American-born Australian Terrier Moose to go deep undercover to hunt down the infamous Russian agent Vladimir Kitn, while Moose’s best friend Bella—a Corgi herself—stays behind at the Palace to serve as a doppelgänger for the missing Agent Ginger. Moose has less than 48 hours to ferret out the dastardly Russian plot and rescue Ginger before Kitn executes his master plan to take control of the United Kingdom. And then turn his evil sights on the rest of the unwary world.

Moose is in trouble. BIG trouble.
Stuck living onboard a small boat in London’s East End, Moose’s life has turned into a nightmare. Quite literally.
Waking up every night covered in sweat and shaking uncontrollably, the little 10-pound Aussie Terrier is having bad dreams. Dreams about a ginormous bone that incinerates every dog that comes anywhere close. A bone that is now calling out to Moose—and Moose alone—to find it. And get turned into a smoking pile of ash for his efforts.
All the dogs back at the Tower of London agree that it means one thing: either the dog needs to see a psychiatrist, or the world as we know it is about to come to an end. In months, maybe even weeks. And the only dog who can possibly save the planet is little Moose.
He needs to find that bone. And fast. Before the Bone finds him, instead.

No doggie does it better.
The second-most valuable artifact in all of human and canine history has been pilfered (by the Chinese, no less) and 10-pound Australian Terrier Moose has been summoned to get it back. At any cost.
But this time he’s not going it alone: he has sultry feline Russian Agent Viktoria Orlova at his back. And it is the Ides of March, by the way.
But M doesn’t care whether he’s feeling the Or-lova, she just wants results. So Moose and the wily Russian agent are strapped safely into the belly of a Boeing 737 Max, heading lickedy-split for the mysterious metropolis that’s been nicknamed the Chicago of China. Wuhan. Home of the nefarious biolabs that gave the world COVID.
Nothing could possibly go wrong with that.
Double-crossed every step along the way, and almost ending up as his own sidekick thanks to a well-placed conveyor belt and saw, Moose must fight off the combined efforts of the Chinese, Russians and a mysterious international crime syndicate called S.P.E.C.T.E.R. to rescue the Big Bone and make the world safe for democracy and kibble one more time. Or maybe a bowl of wet food, if you’ve got it.
