Description

Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction" (Boston Globe) and his human partner PI Bernie Little are on to a new case, and this time they're entangled in a web of crime unlike anything they've ever seen before.
Their elderly next door neighbor, Mr. Parsons, thought he was doing the right thing by loaning his ne'er do well son, Billy, some money to help get himself settled. But soon, Mr. Parsons discovers that his entire life savings is gone. A run-of-the-mill scam? Bernie isn't so sure that the case is that simple, but it's Chet who senses what they're really up against.
Only Billy knows the truth, but he's disappeared. Can Chet and Bernie track him down before it's too late? Someone else is also in the hunt, an enemy with a mysterious, cutting-edge power who will test Chet and Bernie to their limit—or maybe beyond. Even poker, not the kind of game they're good at, plays a role.
Spencer Quinn's A Farewell to Arfs ups the ante in the action-packed and witty New York Times and USA Today bestselling series that Stephen King calls "without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available."

        July 11, 2024
        Bernie Little is checking in on his elderly neighbor, Mr. Parsons, and learns that Parsons, because of a phone call, has withdrawn money for his son Billy, a counselor at an agency for ex-cons. Upon visiting the bank, they learn that Parsons' account has been drained--and Billy denies making the call. It's not really a case, but the Little Detective Agency, in the form of Bernie and his dog Chet, are on it. They involve the fraud unit of the local police department, but focus on Billy--or at least one of his clients. The duo crisscross their Arizona valley tracking Billy but also a poker player, an AI expert, a thug who attacked Bernie's police-officer fianc�e with a wrench, Billy's girlfriend, and an entrepreneur who thinks he's found a way to get water from the moon. Chet's signature move--grabbing the guilty party by the pants leg--comes in handy more than once as they identify the culprit. Chet tells the story, and his literal perceptions are a delightful contrast to the sinister crime, which will delight fans of the long-running series (previously Up on the Woof Top, 2023).
