When Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction" (Boston Globe), and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, are approached by a down-and-out older man with a cardboard sign at an exit ramp, Bernie is shocked to discover the man is a former teammate from his high school baseball team. Chet and Bernie take Rocket out for a good meal, during the course of which Rocket refers to their class's prom queen, who supposedly vanished in a mysterious way. Bernie can't get the story off his mind, and goes back to his old high school, where much that he remembers turns out not to be true. Did the prom queen marry the captain of the football team, move to Hawaii, and later join some sort of commune in Kauai? The former football captain, now running a mining company in the desert searching for rare earth minerals of import to national security, is not helpful—and there are powerful and dangerous people not happy with the questions Bernie is asking.

Bernie soon learns that he misunderstood much about his high school years—and now, plunged into a dangerous case, Chet and Bernie discover what can happen when national security interests are thought to be at risk.

The telepathy between Bernie and Chet is getting stronger, but Bernie is still a bit slow on the uptake. Too bad for him Chet still doesn’t speak human. LOL

Chet may you live long and procreate often. So far I have loved every book and the narrator has perfectly captured Chet. I think Bernie should run for sheriff.

Bernie for sheriff.

Love the Chet and Bernie series, but found this story hard to follow—or not their most interesting “case” to solve

“Chet’s” narration and view of the world always makes me laugh

Jim Frangione is one of the best narrator's and does an excellent job doing Chet, the lovable dog narrating the adventures of him and Bernie, is partner, owner & PI. This adventure takes Bernie back when he is approached by a down-and-out older man with a cardboard sign at an exit ramp. The man is someone from Bernie's past from high school teammate from his high school baseball team.
