Synopsis

“Combines the soothing sleuthing of Murder, She Wrote with the humble charm of All Creatures Great and Small.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED review
		 
For readers of The Thursday Murder Club comes a lighthearted mystery with an incredible sense of place
		 
It’s springtime in rural Manitoba, and the snow has finally left the exotic animal farm when an ostrich finds and swallows a shiny object. (Because this is what ostriches do.) Cue veterinarian and amateur sleuth Dr. Peter Bannerman, who surgically removes the object, which looks like an ancient Viking artifact. Soon after, people around are horrified by a series of animal mutilations. This sets Peter, and his talented sniffer dog, Pippin, on the hunt for answers. Peter begins to suspect a link between the Viking artifact, the mutilations, and a shadowy group of white supremacists on the internet.
		 
Before long Peter and Pippin are in over their heads, and the only way for them to get out alive will be to unmask the mastermind before they end up among their victims.

In the underbelly of Sin City, Bert knew he was playing with fire. Seven players entered a shadowy back room for a game of Crazy Eights, fueled by ambition and desperation. Only four walked out alive. Among them was Bert—a flashy card counter whose golden run had finally turned into a deadly gamble. Now, all he wants is to escape the neon claws of Las Vegas. 
Every glint of his garish suit and piece of gold jewelry made Bert a spectacle on the casino floors, but in the secret rooms of high stakes and higher risks, those same traits made him a target.

In pursuit are Tony and Troy, enigmatic twins who once dreamed of wearing FBI badges but now serve the shadows. Known as TNT for their explosive methods, they’ll stop at nothing to uncover who’s really dealing the cards.

Can Bert's wits outplay the ultimate bluff, or will Vegas claim its due? In this stark, cutting edge audio tale from the Solitaire Series, the stakes have never been higher, and folding is not an option.
