Bud Barkin, Private Eye [EPUB ebook] 

Dear Reader, The guy who usually writes these letters asked me to do it instead. Maybe he was having a bad writing day. Maybe he wanted me to play the sap for him. Or maybe he ran into Trouble with a capital T. Well, Troubles in my business. Im a dog. Im a detective. The names Bud Barkin. And this book is about the case I had involving a dame named Delilah Gorbish, whom I would call Trouble with a capital T except Ive used that metaphor already, and the clown named Crusty Carmady whose calling card is a teakettle that he heaves through windows. Nice pair of birds. The mystery deepens with another character called the Big Fish, who isnt really a fish and whos addicted to the Home Shopping Network. Hey, I dont write em I just solve em. Yours truly, Bud Barkin, P.E.
