A Pug's Tale

The long-awaited follow-up to Pug Hill--from a poignant and very funny (Washington Post) writer. . There are pugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art!  Hope McNeill has worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for years but this is the first time she's been able to bring along her pug Max. (Officially at least. Previously she's had to smuggle him in inside her tote bag.) The occasion: a special Pug Night party in honor of a deep-pocketed donor. Max and his friends are having a ball stalking the hors d'oeuvres and getting rambunctious and making Hope wonder if this is also the last time she gets to bring Max to the museum.   But when a prized painting goes missing the Met needs Hope's--and Max's--help. In her quest for the culprit Hope searches for answers with an enigmatic detective a larger-than-life society heiress a lady with a shih tzu in a stroller and her arguably intuitive canine. With luck she'll find some inspiration on her trips to Pug Hill before the investigation starts going downhill...
