The Hound of the Burgervilles

<p><em><strong>This case is really going to the dogs...</strong></em></p><p> </p><p>After I try a little off-the-books interrogation to locate my selkie almost-boyfriend's nearly-ex-husband (don't ask it's complicated) I'm in the doghouse again with my bosses who bust me back to surveillance. <em>Ugh.</em> So when another human inexplicably storms into Quest Investigations-something our security spells ought to prevent since I'm supposed to be the only human admitted to our offices-I'm reduced to staking out local fast food restaurants to check out the guy's alleged sighting of a giant glowing-eyed dumpster-diving spectral hound.</p><p> </p><p>Ridiculous right? Humiliating too not to mention boring. But at least they didn't fire me.</p><p> </p><p>Imagine my surprise when there actually is a giant glowing-eyed dumpster-diving spectral hound-one of the Cwn Annwn Herne the Hunter's traitor-tracking dog pack to be exact. Jeez who let <em>this</em> dog out? It's my case though so it's up to me-Matt Steinitz aka Hugh Mann-to return him to Faerie. But while Herne's normally hopping kennels are inexplicably unpopulated by pups they're playing host to one extremely dead body.</p><p> </p><p>Uh oh. Looks like someone's bite was a lot worse than their bark.</p><p> </p><p>Guess my love life will have to take a back seat again while we nose out the truth.</p><p> </p><p><em>Dammit.</em></p><p> </p><p><em>The Hound of the Burgervilles</em> is the second in the Quest Investigations M/M mystery series a spinoff of E.J. Russell's Mythmatched paranormal rom-com story world. It contains no on-page sex or violence and although there is a romantic subplot it is not technically a romance (unless you like <em>really</em> slow burn). The series is best read in order.</p>
