Title: Sleeping Dog – Penguin Modern Classics – Crime & Espionage
Author: LOCHTE DICK

A darkly comic thriller following a cynical LA gumshoe who makes the catastrophic mistake of helping a 14-year-old find her dog . . .

Serendipity Dahlquist is a headstrong roller-blading 14-year-old living in LA who has lost her dog. She asks private investigator Leo Bloodworth to help her find the missing pet. In what proves to have been a moment of madness, Bloodworth agrees to take on the case, unleashing an appalling–but also extremely entertaining–series of extremely homicidal events.

Sleeping Dog remains, almost 40 years after its publication, one of the most wonderful crime debuts- by turns charming, hilarious and pathological, Lochte’s novel is a great celebration of everything that is most deplorable and hair-raising about California in the 1980s.
