  “A Houston lawyer’s attempt to escape the rat race backfires with hilarious results in Davis’s thoroughly enjoyable debut crime novel” (Publishers Weekly). 
   
  Reveling in outrageous shenanigans and hilariously off-kilter characters, Shoveling Smoke does for East Texas what Carl Hiaasen’s novels do for South Florida. Burned-out corporate lawyer Clay Parker chucks it all and moves from Houston to a tiny firm in a dusty small town, searching for his lost integrity and a simpler life. Instead, he lands in the middle of a bungled fraud case defending the disreputable and downright nasty Bevo Rasmussen, accused of torching the stables housing his over-insured thoroughbreds.  
   
  Immediately confronted with corrupt officials, crazed survivalists, an incompetent hit man, an emu, and a naked county clerk, along with an assortment of vengeful wives and great barbecue, Clay discovers that nothing about his case—or in East Texas—is what it seems.

  Wildlife veterinarian Dr. Veronica Perry travels the world to help animals in need. When Riverbend Animal Conservation Center offers her a chance to lead their veterinary team while helping repopulate endangered species in her own backyard, Veronica can’t turn it down. It doesn’t hurt that living in Riverbend, Indiana, will also give her the chance to help train Luna, a foster puppy for Riverbend K-9 Academy’s wildlife detection program. 
  Kai Torres is the head zookeeper at RACC. When his longtime friend, Veronica, joins their team, they work together to help restore RACC’s new land conservancy, just a few miles away from Riverbend. Restoring the abandoned land will be well worth it both for native species and for Riverbend itself, especially after they discover that two Riverbend citizens have been attacked nearby. 
  However, after Veronica and Kai believe RACC’s land is finally safe, Luna starts finding scents where they don’t expect them. Too late, they realize that the person responsible for the attacks is using RACC’s land conservancy as cover for a more nefarious crime. And they’ll do whatever it takes to make sure Veronica and Kai don’t discover the truth. 
  A Whisker of Suspicion is Book 3 in the Riverbend K-9 Series. All books in the Riverbend K-9 Series may be enjoyed as standalone novels or as a series.

  A Study in Scarlet

  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

  A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story.  At the beginning of the book, Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder.  The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily.  In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history.  The action returns to London in the last two chapters.  In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known:  meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.  (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)
