Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. The background material that Mr. Lochte includes with this edition goes a long way toward explaining why the story is as it is. Otherwise, why set a story in the 1980s? Mr. Lochte also says that his book was initially rejected for being to longwinded. It was picked up by Arbor House and went on to great acclaim. Well, I would have put it into the windy category too but that just goes to show you that tastes differ. Brash Books has decided to release the Leo and Serendipity series in paperback and Kindle formats, beginning with Sleeping Dog and Laughing Dog (1988). Rapping Dog, a recent short story, has been released for Kindle. I received a review copy of "Sleeping Dog:A Leo and Serendipity Mystery" by Dick Lochte (Brash) through NetGalley.com. no reviews | add a review

First Holmes and Watson, then Nero and Archie, Now Leo and Serendipity--two detectives, two narrative voices, twice as much sleuthing and double the fun. First, imagine Katherine Hepburn at fourteen. Next, in your mind's eye, replay Humphrey Bogart, at his middle-aged best, as Sam Spade. Now picture this oddest of couples as the newest duo in detective fiction and you'll have a perfect portrait of the memorable leads in Sleeping Dog."" --Los Angeles Times Book Review Originally published in 1985 by Arbor House 0-87795-738-X and by Warner in pbk. 0-446-32661-5, Sleeping Dog won the Nero Wolfe Award and was nominated for the Edgar, the Shamus, and the Anthony Awards. In 1999, the Independent Mystery Booksellers's Association named it one of their 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century. Poisoned Pen Press will republish the sequel, Laughing Dog, later this year.
